In ETABS, Context Help provides additional information on this topic, available through Help > Documentation > Composite Beam Design.Complete details are available via Help>documentation>composite frame design
The following deflection results are available:
Pre-composite= Deflection due to self-weight DEAD load using moment of Inertia of bare steel section
Post-composite = Deflection due to SDL and LIVE load only using Transformed moment of inertia
Live Load = Deflection due to LIVE load using Transformed moment of inertia
Total Deflection = Deflection due to DEAD +LIVE +SDL load using Transformed moment of inertia
Note: For the deflections above to be calculated correctly the program needs to trace load types correctly ; therefore, do not use load cases that contain two or more load types and/or combinations that contain other combinations.
Camber in the program is calculated based on design preferences, via Design>composite beam design>preferences, refer to camber Tab
