Portal Frame - Rafter (calculation query)

[Anonymous]

I have a question regarding a portal frame structure I am working on. There are two portal frames spaced 7m apart and the frames have pinned bases. The rafter has a haunch at eaves and at the apex.

I know that the rafter will have several key points which need to be checked to ensure failure does not occur. My question is, can I force robot to perform the calculations at a specific point along the member. E.g. I want it to run the calculations at the tip of the eaves haunch, at mid span, and at mid way along the eaves haunch. This is because I want to see if it takes into account the haunch when calculating moment resistance of the section (plus haunch).

Thanks!!
