We construct a chemo-dynamical model for galaxy formation using a three dimensional SPH method. We simulate the formation of two spheroidal systems, i.e., the elliptical galaxy and the Galactic bulge, based on the collapse scenario for protogalaxies. We obtain the chemodynamical formation and evolution models for the two systems during the first ∼ 1 Gyr. The relative ratio of kinetic to thermal energy of supernovae is found to heavily determine the outcome. By giving the explosion energy of supernovae to the interstellar gas with a physically meaningful relative ratio of kinetic to thermal energy, the elliptical galaxy model has the hot halo and the galactic wind, but it is not the case for the Galactic bulge model.
