Figure below shows automatic creation of envelope of moving loads along the bridge deck, class 150tons (vehicle A in Load Model 3). The maximum vertical deflection downward (Min values) is found 176mm at a position named loadcase "...Posi 23". Figure: Automatic creation of envelope of moving loads along the bridge. Values of vertical displacement (m)
ICDAS AB 2018.00R provides also all single loadcases created. Set active the case "318: ClassLoad 150 Lane 1 Posi 23" for vertical displacement DZ, one gets 176mm as found in the above envelope for displacements. Figure below shows also load symbol at the indicated node, where there are 22 points load represented class 150tons (the light blue arrows symbol)

Lusas visualise bridge deformation in 3D cross section where we e.g. can see different bewteen thicknesses of the arch and the hanger elements. Shown below is 3D view from bottom where we can focus on the deformations of the steel frame below the concrete deck modelled as shell element in green.
