Oh ok, that is a different problem altogether.  So you have a 3D model of a spring?  The stiffness will be a function of the geometry and the material.  Do you need a 3D model of the spring?  Or just a 2 node line element representation of the spring that has a force-displacement function that matches what you are showing in the plot?
