Yes. Indeed GPU simulations (RTX 3070) failed. Good to hear you found a solution already.

I successfully loaded an animation of LaFemme2 and ran a simulation to it. See image below. LF2 is the A-posed variant that now comes with Poser13. It helps maybe to turn off subdivision of the figure. Purging the cache may help too. You may want to ask jroulin. He reported he had a problem with LF in animation and solved it via cache purge. 

This was a very simple dress, just for testing the process. 

Question: if I want to do self-overlapping garments,  like a bath robe or a double-breasted jacket buttoned, do I need to do something special to prevent inversion of the layer order?
