Hi  Hakim, 
The reaction force indicates how much force you have applied to the clamped body. To calculate this, you can apply the pull force to the clamped body and then see how much displacement and deformation is permissible according to your analysis, the Reaction force developed between the clamped part would be your grip force for the analysis.
