The FEM is just a model of the crash resistant structure. Hopefully it will behave like the actual structure, but that is not guaranteed. We use the FEM because it is faster and cheaper than doing the tests on the actual thing. However if you have the time and money to do your crash resiliency tests on the actual product during the development phase. I expect the results would be much better.
