The open standard for
CAD kernel trust

ForgeCertify is a rigorous, open-source test suite that measures geometry kernel accuracy, boolean correctness, NURBS precision, and physical property fidelity — across any kernel, any OS. Run the suite. Publish your results. Let the numbers speak.

What ForgeCertify measures

12 test categories. Every one mapped to real engineering failure modes, not synthetic benchmarks.

Boolean Correctness

Union, difference, intersection — verified against reference geometry to sub-micron tolerance.

NURBS Precision

Curve and surface interpolation accuracy, knot insertion stability, degree elevation fidelity.

Mesh Quality

Triangle aspect ratio, normal consistency, watertightness, tessellation deviation from analytic surfaces.

Physical Properties

Volume, surface area, centroid, and moment of inertia validated against closed-form analytical solutions.

🔁

Round-Trip I/O

STEP/IGES/STL import → export → re-import fidelity. Geometry must survive the trip.

📐

Parametric Rebuild

Feature graph rebuild accuracy after parameter changes. Topology must remain stable and correct.

🏗

Assembly Constraints

Mate constraint solving, DOF computation, interference detection across multi-body assemblies.

🏥

Geometry Healing

Gap closure, normal flipping, degenerate edge removal — kernel must fix what it's handed.

🔬

FEA Mesh Export

Hex8 / tet4 mesh quality for finite element analysis. Element distortion within solver tolerances.

🌊

CFD Surface Quality

Watertight boundary surfaces, consistent normals, and minimum face size requirements for CFD meshing.

🖥

Cross-Platform

Results reported per kernel per OS. macOS, Linux, and Windows — you know exactly what you're shipping.

🔓

Open Spec

Test suite and pass/fail thresholds are public. Any kernel can be submitted. Any result can be reproduced.

How certification works

Three steps from your kernel to a published certificate.

1

Download & Run

Install the ForgeCertify runner on macOS or Linux. Point it at your kernel via the adapter interface. The suite runs in full — no cherry-picking categories.

2

Review Results

The runner produces a signed JSON result file. Every test: passed, skipped (missing capability), or failed — with full diagnostic output.

3

Publish & Certify

Submit your signed result file. Results are verified and published to the public ledger. A certificate is issued for the exact kernel version and OS tested.

Built by SKYFIRE Forge. Independent by design.

ForgeCertify was created by SKYFIRE Forge because existing test suites weren't rigorous enough for what ForgeCAD needed. We made it open and independent so the whole industry could use it. ForgeCAD's own kernel is certified under the same suite, the same thresholds, and the same public methodology as every other kernel — including our competitors.

We still don't think any single organization can anticipate every meaningful failure mode. If you've hit a case the suite doesn't cover — submit it. If it's accepted, every kernel that claims certification has to pass it. Including ours.
