Dforce explosion across 4 characters

I was trying to submit a scene showing several male clothing outfits for a thread here about male clothing. I had 6 figures, each with clothing sets from IH Kang ... DFORCE ... Everything was fine excpet when the last character's tie looked a bit out of whack so I figured I would do a dforce simulation on it. All  of a sudden the clothing from the 3 figures on the right exploded. The character I was trying to simulate was not touching them. I'm not sure what this is about. s there a way to recover or do you have to delete the clothing and start over? 

Why would trying to simulate the tie explode the other characters?

This is the clothing set dForce HnC25 Man's Denim Shirt Outfits for Genesis 9 | Daz 3D

    You do not have to delete the clothing, but you will need to clear the simulation and run it again. 

    What you could try is to hide the clothing that caused the issue and re-run for the successful ones. Then freeze their simulations and then simulate the problem one.

    The Tie in this product is not dForce ready but just rigged... If you added a dForce Modifier + weight node to the tie, you should've just selected the last figure's Root Node, then Ctrl + Select the Shirt and Tie on him (Shirt needs to be Tie's collider...), then righ-click on the tab of Simulation Settings pane, Simulate Selected.

    That way wouldn't touch any other simulated items ~~ But if you have dForce Companion or Premier's dForce Manager, just select the Tie and Simulate in there.

    Trick: Always Ctrl + S to Save the Scene file before any simulation. If you did so, just reload your scene. If you didn't, you have to start it over with re-simulation ~~

    Select the item or items you want cleared then right click the "Simulation" tab and select "Dforce>Clear Selected Objects"

    This will clear just the items you have selected.

    i need to study dforce. Thanks everyone for the great advice.

    I always go through the scene before dforcing and mark everything I don't want to affect the simulation as 'Visible in Simulation - No'. This speeds things up by limiting the facets considered in the simulation and prevents explosions in uninvolved parts of the scene. Regards, Richard.
