Windows (frame) in OS

I modeled simple window in OS SketchUp plugin: image description

Then I added frame properties: image description

And now I have some questions.

How is the frame take into account? If I have 10 cm wide frame, that means that the opening is 10 cm smaller all around?

If I determin window properties in OS as Simple glazing system (U, solar/visible transmittance), this U-factor I have to assing means Uglass or Uwindow?

I intend to use WWR measure in PAT. So WWR 50 % (0.5) means only glass surface or entire window surface (glass + frame)?
