Are wireframes structural objects?

Are wireframes build with the idea of using them as structural components ? If i have a mesh or subD and use the wireframe (only the wireframe) in a strucutral analysis software, will it be a usefull structure to begin with or not ?

Hello- I certainly would not count on it - I suppose if it is all triangles, there might be some hope of some structural integrity, but there is nothing, except by chance, that relates to physical structures in a mesh wireframe from a mesh that Rhino makes say from surface objects.
