dForce how to fix points ?

Hi,
In DazStudio, contrary to Poser, there is no possibility to fix points before a simulation.
In Poser, I used to fix points for the belt so that they are not modified by the simulation.
In Cinema 4D, there is also a Fix points option, in a simulation tab.
In the image above, we see that the part corresponding to the belt (in yellow) is very modified.
I would like this area to remain horizontal.
In a forum, this question had already been asked. It was advised to modify the Friction in the Surfaces panel, for the part that should remain fixed.
So I did this but this problem was not resolved.

In fact there is a way to fix points, or even to semi fix points - byt surface you can simply set the dynamic strength to 0 (and you can use the Geometry editor to create new surfaces if needed), or you can use a weight map to control the geometry even more precisely and in several different ways.
Thanks
This tutorial explains well the method of which you speak:

DazStudio offers a very powerful solution with the possibility of modifying the Weightmaps.
I tried dynamic strength = 0 which gives a perfect result (in addition it is very quick to do)
