CSI Software uses a moment-area technique to calculate deflection during composite design. For common cases in which beams exhibit composite behavior, this method is effective.
...
The following deflection results are available:
Pre-composite= Deflection due to self-weight DEAD load using moment of Inertia of bare steel section
...
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
