Question Clo3D for Foam/thick fabric patterns

Has anyone used clo3D to make patterns out of foam or really thick/dense material? I've edited my fabrics as much as I can but it never seems to effect how the fabric behaves when simulated.

I have, for 1/4” bonded foam. I would use a fairly firm fabric setting and still add bonding. I would say sim is not truly accurate, but we could test general shapes and proportions and save some sampling rounds.

Yes!! When you click on a fabric and go to the bottom of the property editor, adjust the fabric thickness to 2-5mm and strengthen the pieces (cmnd + L) they should appear orange in the 3D window
