We modeled the contribution of the young supernova remant Vela to the local cosmic rays taking into account the effect of the Local superBubble and an anistropic diffusion. We recovered the knee observed in the CR spectrum at energy of 3-5 PeV. By the contribution of Vela and an older local source of 2-3 Myr supernova we were able to explain the CR spectrum from TeV to 100 PeV.
