1. A method of determining a position of a solidification point in a strand (1) during a continuous casting of liquid metals, in particular liquid steel, in which a strand (1) formed in a continuous casting mold (4) as a billet, ingot, bloom, preliminary section, thin slab, or slab strand, is displaced in support roller segments (5) with drive support roller pairs (6),characterized in thatan indirect measurement of a movable amount of a core liquid volume per unit of length is carried out by direct measurement of generated process parameters by force and/or path signals (10) on fixed or adjustable individual support rollers (6a) or groups (7) of fixed or adjustable support roller pairs (7a), and, based on the measurement values, a calculation model (15) for a momentary position of the solidification point (1a) is produced, based on which, changeable casting parameters are continuously adjusted.
