I have some other info to add to this thread about strange things happening on meshes used as dynamic elements.

Finally I re-made the mesh, tryied the triangulation in different ways as allowed the UVMapper Pro, and it didn´t worked and the rendered image was showing more artifacts and lines than the previous made with quads.

So I came back and re did the quad's mesh and got much better results, maybe some unexplainable thing changed and the mesh behaved as expected, using normal and subdivided rendered image.

So well, I mapped it. As is a dress, I made 2 halfs and mapped them with zero distortion.

Back in Poser, I made a couple of morphs to add volume, like Width and Extended Bottom. All good, simulation went fine, changed a couple of values as following the ARtBee tutorials and all was good.

So... I got a nice simulated dress, and a nice looking mesh. As I was working still with the Medium Res mesh, I let it to render with subdivision in 1.

Spawned the morph, just to save and compare with different settings, and the the mesh BROKE IN THE TWO HALFS THAT HAS THE UVMAP. I mean, when the morph spawned is applied, is all good, but when the mesh is back to normla, with dynamics dial in zero, it is broken. I noticed that deleting and undoing it returns the mesh in normal way, and saving and loading again, too. But this is very strange!!!!

So I went and made simulations with other merchant dresses and it happens in the same way. I tryied this in 2 different computers and happens the same. Not sure if is my POser copy or if someone else had this occurance... any advice on that?

I can say that this started after the mapping. When testing the mesh before the mapping, nothing happened. I think that as it had not any UV maps the breaks couldn´t follow any path but even I can recognize the way the breaks appear or where, it has no reason.

Gurus there, any help on this??? or is just another Poser weirdness????
