Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
xlFrame doesn't have the capability to support physical members that have members framing into them, without actually separating the member. Segmenting the member by hand can make it time-consuming to query the member for max/min values at the end of the process.

Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like the solver to scan for nodes that lie along members, segment them behind the scenes, and then (after solving) reconstitute them into their physical members for postprocessing.

Additional context
A technically related issue is automatically applying nodal loads to members, where the nodes are at the midspan of a member without any other members framing in at that point. Once the former task is complete, this should be trivial, if not automatic.
