 It is well known that open clusters are excellent tracers (in time  and space) of the metallicity of the Galactic disk. We analyze the  history of stellar formation of the  Galactic disk using numerical simulations of the dynamical evolution  of the open cluster system. We have included the effects of cluster  disruption caused by stellar evolution, tidal fields, and the interaction with the spiral arms. We model the present astrophysical properties of open  clusters from initial hypothesis regarding their formation history.
