I modelled a simple v-neck top for the G2 females using blender. I created material groups and exported it to an obj file. Poser did not see the material groups. So I tried exporting it to a 3ds file, and then the groups came in perfectly.
I loaded Olivia and the garment, positioned and scaled the garment, parented it to Olivia's hip, and entered the cloth room. I created a new simulation, clothified the top, set Olivia as the collision object, put a relaxed standing pose at frame 20, and calculated the simulation. All dynamic settings are at the defaults.The top does not intersect Olivia anywhere.
I get a message that it is calculating dynamics, and the almost immediately a message that "simulation failed at frame 0". I can't seem to get around this.
I would be so grateful for any help.

You must save as prop first, then bring it into the scene a second time as a prop. Then set up your simulation and run it.
To fix any further troubles, export the item as an OBJ after saving it as a prop. The re-import it, and save as another prop. Use the second prop for the simulation.
Poser is a bit of a fussy-wuss about these things.

Thank you very much. I am going to try that right now.

Unfortunately that does not work. I am beginning to wonder if there is something wrong with my mesh, but I have no idea what to look for. The mesh has no folds and doesn't touch itself anywhere. I fixed two little holes but that did not solve the problem either. I am at a loss - I may have to start over....

try running the cloth itself in a simulation , that will test the cloth integrity, show unwelded parts as they fall off :) and so on. It should not take very long with no collisions. If that fails there is a mesh problem to fix.
