Hi @Iron.Max.Steel

This option to specify the exact elongation or shortening in bar and to get the exact axial force will cause this dilatation.

In another words >

Lets say you have a bar and you apply on it 100 KN as axial compression force as a  result  you get axial deformation in the bar 1mm. If you want to know what the force will cause 5 mm in this bar apply dilatation 5mm on this bar and from bar diagram you will know what force cause that .
