In {delta} Scuti star seismology, most researchers use evolution and pulsation models assuming a solar element mixture and Z = 0.02 for preliminary determinations of stellar masses or evolutionary state from observed frequencies. Here the authors investigate the consequences of this assumption by considering the effects of metallicity changes in the models on their inferences of the internal structure of {delta} Scuti stars. They use the main-sequence {delta} Scuti star FG Vir, and the more evolved shell hydrogen burning star {delta} Scuti to illustrate their results.
