How to plot H-V interaction diagram for suction anchors

Hello, 

I'm working on a suction pile under combined loading (Vertical and Horizontal). 
I've got the max Vertical load and Max horizontal load by ploting load displacement curves.

The next step I'm looking to perform is, knowing Vmax and Hmax, I would like to plot the V-H diagram. 

There are analytical approaches such as Andersen, K.H. et al. where I can plot V-H diagram based on only Vmax and Hmax, however, I would like to plot the same diagram using Plaxis 3D.

I also know that I need to perform 1 single calculation for a single point in the V-H diagram using Plaxis. 

What I do not know is what type of loading should I use (imposed displacement with fixed V or H) ?

I found this document while looking for any type of information but still not crystal clear for me .
