Where can I find the live load deflections including impact. I looked at the help window and the calculations are outlined. Can I find the calculations for my model somewhere?When I print the deflections, it only tells me release, erection, etc. It also gives me live load deflection, but how do I know if this includes impact or not?
if the Impact factor is added in the Analysis Factor --> Distribution TAB , then the program is accounting for this factor while calculating the Live load deflection.
Detailed calculation of live load deflection is not available in the Report.
For more information please check the below mentioned bentley communities link.

I see. Thank you! Question, where can I find the deflection of the entire bridge for my project?
In the Loads TAB please check the option "Include LL Deflection" and Once the beam design is done
click on Results --> Check the Camber/Deflection option --> Print View .
In the new window you should be able to see the LL deflection at every POI.
Please let me know if this is the information you are looking for.
I Hope it helps.
