Yeah I also think it like that the the transom is not connected so much properly with the mullions to consider it as a reaction point but it may act as bracing which has nothing to do with the deflection. Thanks guys for your help.

Transoms are connected with the vertical mullions only so does this mean these are the mullions who support the transoms? I have also found a software from an aluminum mullion and transom profile manufacturer they have also neglected the effect of the horizontal transoms.
I am also thinking...
Actually the transom which is horizonally intersecting the mullion is of the same section as the mullion. Both of these sections are like tubes. The length of the transom is 1.08 meters.
My main issue still remains is that if I take the full length of the mullion without considering the...
Does bracing has any effect on deflection of beams? I am presently working on an alumunium mullion design which is laterally bracedd by transoms (horizontal members) in a curtain walls. So, whether I should use the span length for deflection calculation from bracket to bracket (which is fixed...
