How do I know this, well I am a structual engineer in the motor industry and I have been doing this work for over the past twenty five years.

Well said!
A structural engineer analyses structures, of which there are many in a car. Finite element analysis is a structural thing, and guess what they use to design road and race cars as well as buildings and bridges?
Whereas a civil engineer (like me designs) roads and drains, although I would have loved to have designed a race track!
