RE: getting total dead load , total live load

Not sure I understand.  The applied loads can be displayed when you display that load combination.  If you want the program to sum up all the loads into a single total value, then look at your Joint reactions spreadsheet.  The program will report the reaction for each point as well as the total reactions for each direction.   

RE: getting total dead load , total live load

It the basic loadcase spread sheet find any empty row and put DL under the Category column and -1 under your virtical axis column. Default is usually Y. You can place whatever you want in the BLC Description I usually type self weight. Then you can run your load case and look at your joint reactions spreadsheet for total self weight.
