If you mean you split the large bottom face of the top plate at the line where the honeycomb core begins, that would be the correct way to define one line on the plane. The same for the other end at the top face of the bottom plate where the core begins.

If you use a linear model and apply the force or displacement at the same location in the same direction, the modulus will be the same value whether you calculate it from the displacement input or the force input.
