Verification
36 fasteners were built with the NX Join API (PointJoinBuilder, subtype Fastener) in a Join container component, each connected to two real plate bodies in the assembly. The expected outcome of each was worked by hand from the acceptance criteria before the checker ran.

Three ways in, one answer
36/36
Checker run in the NX session that built the assembly.
36/36
Every part closed, the assembly reopened from disk, run again: the answer comes from the saved files.
36/36
Registered in Check-Mate in a fresh batch NX process and run there. Check-Mate’s own log: status fail, 14 failing FAS objects, 4 warnings.

Controls
A parameter that changes nothing looks exactly like one that is ignored. Each option was flipped and the run must change exactly the cases that option governs, no more and no fewer.
Holds
{"washer_requires_diameter":true}Description text instead of acceptance criteria for a diameterless washer
Expected to change: S08 → Could not check. Changed: S08.
Holds
{"tolerance_in":0}Exact comparison: 0.25005 is no longer equal to 0.25, and a 6.35 mm nut no longer equals 1/4 in
Expected to change: S32 → Fail, S29 → Fail. Changed: S29, S32.

Could this verification have failed?
WASHER rule changed from 'greater' to 'equal': 7 cases stop matching (S05, S06, S21, S22, S28, S33, S34). A verification that cannot fail proves nothing; this one notices a wrong rule.
What this does not cover. The test hardware library is this project’s own (part numbers T*), shaped like the Reuse Library Excel files NX ships, plus the shipped sample library itself. It has not yet been run against a customer’s production hardware library or a Teamcenter-managed assembly: hardware whose data source is Teamcenter Classification resolves only if the same names are in a Hardware.xlsx or XML database the checker can read, and otherwise reports could not check.
