Why on earth would you ask for something you aren't qualified to examine? Accept the engineer's seal on the plans (and the engineer is being well compensated for their services to the owner).
Accepting something as part of the official records makes the BO equally liable if it's wrong..
The plans need to have the design criteria on them .. if you're in a D seismic area and the plans say B.. reject them.. truss plans will show the input values for the program.. if it's wrong, reject them. You don't need the calculations. That's the designers responsibility.
If you want them in your files, require them... I wouldn't.
