H.E strength verification

Strength verification of the H.E. heat exchanger design 1 What does strength verification include? What software should be used for shell, channel, tubesheet, and tube 2?
H.E stands for heat exchanger. For the strength calculation of heat exchangers, the SW6 software is generally used for such calculations; alternatively, verification calculations can also be carried out using standard formulas. The cylinder, head, nozzles, tube sheet, heat exchange tubes, etc., all require verification calculations.
If there is a saddle, it should also be checked.
There are many software options available for heat exchangers designed in accordance with ASME TEMA standards. PVELITE, a software from the United States, is well-established in China; compress, another U.S.-based software, also has a significant market share. VVD, a European software, is represented in China as well. MICROPROTOL, another European software, has been acquired by another company and its name has been changed. There are other software options used on the Chinese mainland as well, but the above four software programs account for over 99% of those in use
