LEAP Bridge Concrete CONBOX Live Load Distribution Factor Manual Input

Question

Hi, Dear All, 
 I have a quick question on CONBOX live load distribution factor manual input. The bridge model has a tapered deck. So I am trying to enter in the linearly varying live load distribution factor. I wonder if I have to enter the LLDF at 10th points or just enter the LLDF at both beginning and end (as in attached picture). Please advise. Thank you so much for the help. 
 
 Also, could you please let me know where I can check the auto-generated LLDF if no value is entered in manually? 
 Thanks, 
 Dong

1) If you are inputting the LLDF manually then I would suggest you to input the DF's at every 10th point to maintain accuracy. 
 2) If you are not inputting the LLDF's manually then Run the analysis and then click on View Analysis and in the Analysis Results window 
 select Final --> Truck/Lane --> Design Truck/Tandem and then scroll down and you should be able to see the LLDF's at very 10th point 
 along the span. 
 Please see the attached screenshot for more information.
