Yes, this is essentially the same as U-value. This is the conduction heat transfer per area of window frame or divider that is projected onto the same plane as the window itself.itself. The heat transfer equation used by EnergyPlus is:

$Q_c_o_n_d = k*A_f * (T_inside_frame - T_outside_frame)$

Where $k$ is the frame conductance input you are asking about. This equation also applies to the window divider conductance input.
