In RFEM and RSTAB, it is possible to define nonlinear properties of member releases. In addition to the activity diagrams and force-deformation relationship, you also have the simple option of using signs or limit values of the internal forces as criteria for the effectiveness of the release. This way, you can specify which internal forces should be transferred at the member end.
This model is used to explain the options.
