"Spring of node..." woes (dForce)

Is there any way ahead of time to determine if an article of clothing not already designed for dForce won't trip up the simulation with excessive "Spring of node" corrections? I can set A value to below the standard 0.20 threshold, but then I never know if the mesh needed it or not for a decent simulation. Also, some other settings particularly related to stretchiness alter the length value to well under 0.20. 

It can be a real problem because there's no Cancel button for this popup. Yesterday I sat through 20 minutes (yes, really!) of error corrections, and no way to stop the process. Of course the simulation crashed afterwards. I've taken to simply shutting down Daz and restarting. A cancel button would be better, as well as some method of at least guessing if the mesh is going to be problematic. Ideas?

    I don't want to be the "me too" guy, but... Yes... I'd like a cancel button too. Googleing this annoyance is what got me here.

  • Late to the party, but since I found myself in here for the same reason as others, yes, a cancel button would be much appreciated.

    Bartender, I'll take one of those also please.

  • In the year 2026, still wishing for a Cancel button for this process... As I write this I'm ~40 minutes deep into simulation of a ratchet strap around some wine barrels and only at 27% for spring of node 2554500+...

    As has been explained in other threads on this topic, adding a cancel check would slow the process down even with wel-designed clothes - the pain when dealing with items not made (properly) for dForce is understandable but alleviating it would hurt all users even with well designed clothes.
