Further to @TaylorRoberts answer, you can set thickness of the glass in the material tab; you can set the thickness of the wall/sill/shading elements with a Window:FrameAndDivider object.
You can also use the Window and/or Optics programs to exercise total control of these elements and roll them up into a single element for inclusion in an OpenStudio model.

According to your additional comments, you don't know the thickness of the glazing, but you do know the SHGC/VLT/U info, and are merely evaluating the changes to window area and shading configuration. All the more reason to use the "Simple Glazing System" material type IMO; that material only requires these three inputs to describe the glazing performance. Then you can use measures to vary the WWR and shading configurations. Does this make sense?
