Cloth simulation not working

I’m very much a beginner at blender and am having trouble with the cloth simulator. I am trying to create a chair-like object with leather straps and all I need is for the straps to sag and tighten around the frame.

Unfortunately I can’t upload my blend file but you can see in the right image where the straps are pinned and how they just seem repelled by the frame and have no gravity. All the settings are default but i’ve tried playing around with them.

Here is a Quick Blend that will show a cloth sim that should get you started …
Pay attention to the PIN group…without them the cloth will drop off into space…:slight_smile:

Thank you!
