if end release(stiffness release) feature can be added into 3D Frame element, it will be better.

I believe you can simulate an end release using the link feature.  This allows nodes to be joined but only for specified dof's.  In this way you can simulate a hinge in the interior of a member. 

Or do you have another need?
