Abstract
We propose a Cassini State model for Enceladus in which we assume the presence of a global ocean be- neath an ice shell and include the existence of defor- mations induced by obliquity tides. We aim to assess whether the obliquity of Enceladus can reach values large enough to trigger a strong heat flux caused by the dissipation associated with obliquity tides.
