The paper describes a determination of the cause of transverse internal cracks on a continuously cast slab using an analytical software tool, called LITIOS. It is a complex system based on long-term monitoring of the casting parameters and their impact on the quality of the slabs. Transverse internal cracks are characterised by identifying the possible causes of their origin. Using the LITIOS system, selected constant (invariable) and variable parameters of the casting were assigned to specific cracks and on their basis the causes of the cracks were determined. Keywords: continuous casting of steel, slab, casting parameters, quality prediction, crack, software tool lanek opisuje ugotavljanje vzrokov notranjih pre~nih razpok v kontinuirno litem slabu z uporabo analitskega programskega orodja LITIOS. To je kompleksen sistem, ki temelji na dolgotrajnem nadzoru parametrov pri litju in njihovem vplivu na kvaliteto slabov. Ocenjene so pre~ne notranje razpoke s prikazom mogo~ih vzrokov za njihov nastanek. Z uporabo sistema LITIOS so bile dodeljene izbrane konstante (nespremenljivke) in spremenljivi parametri litja dolo~eni razpoki in na tej osnovi so bili dolo~eni vzroki za nastanek razpok. Klju~ne besede: kontinuirno litje jekla, slab, parametri litja, napovedovanje kakovosti, razpoka, programsko orodje
