Dforce simulation starting from a morphed garment

Not sure if it can be made despite the fact that it sounds pretty simple : 

How to prevent dforce from resizing at the beginning a garment that has already been simulated previously ? 

Example :

- I run a first dforce simulation from frames 1 to 100

- the garment is outgrown by the growing character

Then can I launch a new simulation starting from the already outgrown outfit, getting even tighter from frames 101 to 130 ? Clicking on starting from memorized pose isn't working. Before you ask, I can't run the whole simulation in my animations because they are actually 2000 frame long. I need to run small session of 100 frames.

    You can't start a new simulation from the last frame. *)

    You have to add frames to the timeline, do your changes in those frames, and start simulation from frame 0.

    *) You can export your clothing and import as a morph and use that as starting position of a new simulation.

    How to ? I export the .obj with base resolution, import it back as a morph with morph loader pro, launch a new simulation from 100 (as expected, it autofits back the garment) but applying the morph on frame 100 doesn't fit the character at all.

    you need to unfit it and export it at frame 100, the drape will likely look weird as not A posed but once fitted at that pose should look OK

    I do this for seated morphs all the time and in addition use the attenuate feature to restrict it to skirts etc

    It works! To help anyone else, here is the full process :

    - do the first simulation and stay at the last frame

    - unfit the garment 

    - select base resolution

    - export as .obj 

    - refit to the character and make sure garment is still selected.

    - launch morph loader pro

    - choose primary root under "filter object" and leave the other settings. Accept.

    - Set the morph you created to 100% in the parameters tab.

    - Simulate the second animation from the former last frame.
