How can I calculate the spring coefficient (k) of leaf spring in Adams/Car?

I've created a leaf spring using "Leaf Spring Editor". However, I've been struggling to draw its Load/Deflection diagram. For that purpose, which parameters should I use in x-axis and y-axis in the postprocessor interface?
 
For instance, I've been choosing "lfl_seat_leaf_spr_XFORM.Z" for x-axis and "lfl_axle_bush_leaf_spr.FZ" for y-axis but I am not sure that is the correct way to determine its vertical spring coefficient.
