Hi,
This is in the context of a brochure for a CAD-based software for constructing façades and curtain walls.
La construction du châssis avec xxx suit la démarche naturelle de fabrication en définissant le dessin d'élévation: définition du cadre dormant, insertion de montants et traverses intérmédiares, placement de vitrages et ouvrants dans les trous.
I am not sure if the equivalent of montant and traverse in English is stiles and rails or transoms and mullions.
Thanks,
Uma

mullion
From my experience with a French curtainwalling designer, "montant" is what is called the "mullion" in this context. It is not the same as a "mullion" in a window, where the mullion is a vertical divider/support between panes. However, in curtain walling, the "mullion" is a vertical divider between modular windows (or assimilated), each with a number of panes (or assimilated) and its own "sub-mullions" if I may coin a phrase.
A transom or "traverse" is a horizontal member fulfilling the same dividing/support function.

stile
I think this is the correct joinery term for an upright in a frame.
