Last reviewed Editorial process

Definition

In IronCAD, Dual-Kernel Engine represents a core architectural mechanism. IronCAD's unique architecture that runs both industry-standard modeling kernels concurrently, letting designers switch solvers per feature.

Why it matters

Mastering Dual-Kernel Engine is critical for production-grade deliverables. Directly prevents geometry rebuild failures; if a complex fillet fails on the ACIS solver, the system re-computes it cleanly on Parasolid.

Common pitfalls

  • Creating complex features without verifying kernel compatibility, resulting in slow file save times.
  • Kernel-level licensing issues.
