In RAM Connection integrated within STAAD.Pro how to assign connection for castellated beam?

In RAM Connection integrated within STAAD.Pro, there is no direct way to assign connection template for castellated beams. The closest option I can think of using the RAM connection Standalone software where we can manually model the connection. I believe the main concern is the below part of the connection.

Here, You can model the beam-column connection considering the beam as I section and column as hollow section. The member end forces need to be read from the STAAD.Pro post processing and input manually in RAM Connection. The below type of connection may be helpful in this case.
