20 years ago, I saw engineering FEA guy always put a note for responsibility waiver, such as

"Do not accept or reject a design based solely on the data presented in this report", etc.

10 years ago, I saw it, engineering guy thought it is okay.

At present, the FEA report I review, the similar note are still there.

what is your opinion?

FEA result based on user/customer input.
Once the report is created, its "obsoleted" with changes in the project.
Also FEA is "based on assumptions".

We need to cover our behind.

In other words....

Someone else does the Engineering for you, you pay them accordingly.... However, you still need to make sure that they know what they are doing, because if you were to build something with an Engineered Flaw, you are still ultimately responsible, you need to know....
