Dforce Freeze

James

So... Dforce freeze only on the cloth I'm making.
I'm not sure what's wrong with it.
It's a coat, a add dforce dynamic.
I tried to simulate and it freezes while stabilizing in 20-30%

Any hint?

Dforce works on other clothings

Freezes as in becomes unresponsive and the progress bar stops advancing? Is the OpenCL device still working?

crosswind

We don't know how the coat geometry looks like / settings on dynamic surfaces ~~ well, some actions you may try:

- turn off Self Collide
- zero Collision Offset or set a -1.0 there
- turn off Velocity Smoothing or reduce its value if there's any
- reduce Buckling Stiffness if there's any
- use dForce Surface Adjuster to tweak settings on dynamic surfaces
- simulate the dynamic surface one by one

Yes

Don't know

After trying some stuffs suggested, not working.
At the end... I just cut certain part of the cloth, it's  the arm curl ups. and the problem is gone.
Don't understand why they cause such problem.

Sometimes dforce also acting weird, if I had many geometries on the cloth, like spikes on certain places. So I have to reduce the number of geometris to eliminate them..

If a dForce object is denser than 'spring length' (collision distance) it can take a long time to resolve.

Or part of the mesh get trapped it will take a long time to resolve.

Now you have solved it - somehow - else you can use timeline for simulation, and then you can see where it stops.
