Im modelling a cdp beam and would like to get load-deflection (mid span) curve. What point/line/location should i pick for getting reaction force and displacement?

Do i nid to insert a loading at same place when i have put a displacement of -50mm in y-axis?

 

[FEA way]

For this purpose you can sum RF2 (reaction force in Y direction) for both pinned edges and plot it against absolute value of U2 (displacement in Y direction) for middle node on mid span edge.
