How is the effective tube length shown in the calculation reports of HTRI determined?

How is the effective tube length indicated in the calculation reports from HTRI determined? Generally, we enter the actual length of the heat exchange tubes, and the report shows an effective tube length; the heat exchange area is then calculated based on this effective tube length. What factors influence this effective tube length? I would appreciate it if someone experienced in this field could provide some guidance
It is related to factors such as the thickness of the tube sheet and the length of the heat exchange tubes extending beyond the tube sheet.
It’s been automatically calculated by the software; I want to set this length manually. Where can I do that?
The length of the heat exchange tube is reduced by the thickness of the tube sheets at both ends and the length of the rising tube sheet
