Draping a simple plane over a coffin with dforce

I'm trying to drape a simple plane with a dForce Dynamic Modifier added over a coffin (to create the effect of a flag draped over a coffin). However, the best I can get it to do is fall on one side and start intersecting with the coffin (see attachment). I've tried draping it over the primitives I used to create the base for the coffin (with the coffin hidden of course) and in that case the plane just falls through the primitives to the floor.

I swear I've done similar effects with virtually no problem before, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Any tips?

    I'm just using a pre-made/store-bought flag for now and then modifying the surface. Sorry for posting the thread. Wish I could just delete it.

    There seems to be way to few resolution in the plane that you had used in your first post.

    If it is a plane you have created, then you need to up the division. For a 2 meter plane, I would suggest maybe 100 divisions.

    In order for your plane to drape, it has to have many subdivisions.

    Oh my gosh, thank you both so much. I can't believe I forgot such a simple, basic step. Must've needed more coffee before getting to work.

    Eh, don't feel bad. I've been having brain farts ALL morning. LOL Not enough blood in my caffeine is likely ;)
