This paper mainly focuses on Stress Analysis of thick wall bellows in heat exchanger using Finite Element Method. The main Purpose of bellows is to withstand axial thermal deflection and equivalent internal shell side Pressure. For analysis, thick wall bellows is considered as axisymmetric object. In this paper we are calculating stresses in the thick wall bellows by FEM program using C# programming language and comparing the results with FEA software (ANSYS) results.
