Section offset and end release

Hello,

I am new to OpenSees and have a background in using Ansys. I would like to know or understand a couple of things:
1. What is the OpenSees command to provide offset to a section i.e. if the connection of a beam member does not pass through the centroidal axis of that member - how does one model it in OpenSees?
2. What is the process to perform "end release" between a beam and a column in case the connection isn't a moment connection and in fact a pin-pin connection?
