No doubt the folks who will have the best early understanding of airframe & systems damage are Airbus.
They already have the FDR data, and the following from the ATSB indicates their guys in SIN will soon see the hidden bits:

"In Singapore, the No 2 engine has been successfully removed from the aircraft and is being prepared for transport to a local engineering facility for technical examination under ATSB supervision. The removal of the engine will also facilitate closer examination of the damage to the surrounding wing and other structures and systems."

But they're not likely to tell you and me what they find, not yet anyway.
