Hi

you need first to do a parametric or continuation study for a varying load (numerous examples in the model library)

then you need to define the point or some average over a boundary, or use the Data set cut point/line ...

Then under Results Derived values define an integration or average value (displacement or w or ...) for the point, line ... => this makes a table force versus displacement, that you can plot by hitting the plot icon above the table GUI frame

Good luck
