We simulate the formation and evolution of galaxies with a self-consistent 3D hydrodynamical model including star formation, supernova feedback, and chemical enrichment. Hypernova feedback plays an essential role not only in solving the [Zn/Fe] problem, but also reproducing the cosmic star formation rate history and the mass-metallicity relations. In the Milky-Way type galaxy, the star formation history, and thus the kinematics and chemical abundances are different in bulge, disk, and thick disk.
