In RFEM, there are built-up sections called Castellated Beams that allow you to place holes in web of other sections like W's for example. The layout of the holes is parametric. This allows you to then design these cross-sections in add-on modules like RF-STEEL AISC.
You can then set separate cross-sections for the start and end of the member allowing you to taper it.
Is it possible to model and design tapered castellated beams in RF-STEEL AISC?
