When modeling frame structures, RFEM and RSTAB provide various options for controlling the transfer of internal forces and moments at the connection points of members. On the one hand, you can use the member types to define whether only forces or also moments act on the connected members. On the other hand, you can exclude certain internal forces from the transfer by using hinges. A special type are scissor hinges, which allow for a realistic modeling of roof structures, for example.
