Hi
I have designed a warehouse with cladding on the top of the beams, so I want to assign a steel deck to the cladding, but when I select the FE Thickness it shows me a concrete slab (TH30-CONCR) and I can not find steel deck profile. Is there any way to insert a steel deck profile or design a profile?

You can assign a thickness only to panels.
On thickness dialogue window , click on " new" , choose orthotropic tab and select steel deck type orthotropy.
Robot will perform analysis considering steel deck properties , but will not design it

To have analysis results(Forces , reactions, displacements) for the slab ,the panel has to be meshed.
If you don´t want/need results for the steel deck ,use claddings ,but then you will have only 2 options for load distribution , one way or 2 way.
