Dforce settings for a rope

bwise1701

I'm tryin gto build and sim a rope model - I modelled it in maya as a fairly dense tube and ir sims relatively well in Daz but the tube keeps collapsing like to a flattened ribbon - what parameters would allow it to stay sttiff enough to not collaps but still drape under gravity? Or is there a fifferent way I ned to model it - with interior edges maybe?

Thanks

A dForce AddOn might help, a series of two vertex lines (if you can  export those from Maya to Daz Studio) where the vertices align to vertices on the rope - though with a dense mesh creating enough of those might be a pain.
