steel framed windows

Hello,

I am trying to model an existing building with single-pane steel framed
windows. On the window frame options list, I do not see steel frame is not
an option. Does anybody have a work around for this?

Thanks,

Marcus Eliason

Marcus,

I would just pick aluminum. If you feel it is critical you can
investigate the thermal properties and adjust the FRAME-CONDUCT
accordingly.
