CSI SAFE will bevery useful feature to find long term non linear deflection for slabs. The procedure is as follow:

Define Load Cases,

a.Immdeiate Non-Linear(D.L -1 and L.L-1)

b. Sustained Non-Linear(D.L -1 and L.L-0.25)

c. Sustained Non-Linear Long  Term (D.L-1 and L.L -0.25)

Define Load Combination for long term deflection as

Immd. NL - Sus. NL + Sus. NL Long term

Then run the analysis and check deflection for the above defined load combination.
