FAQ Cast3M
What is XDENO dans PASAPAS ?
XDENO is a quantity which is used to normalise the residu.
Its value comes from the displacements and imposed displacements.
If the only loading is from thermic origin it is a problem. To help Cast3M to estimate a residu you have to give
a comparison value in the strength unit . this value has to be given in the table given to PASAPAS under the index 'FTOL' which means
Force-TOLérance( if there is shell element you have to give also MTOL).
