Description
We present the preliminary results of cosmological simulation focused on
the study of the size and velocity dispersion time evolution. We have
study the main morphological features of a sample of more that 200
galaxies having masses between 5 x 10^{10} M_&sun; and 5 x 10^{11}
M_&sun;. We compared the results obtained from the analysis of the
simulated sample with the observational data. The time evolution of
size and velocity dispersion of simulated galaxies seems to go in the
right direction, pointing observational results, leading to the
conclusion that the cause of such morphological evolution could be due
to the minor merger events and the
