How to make a fabric with a solidify modifier doesn't pass through itself?

Question

I've created a sail. I made a plane of right form, applied to it solidify modifier and cloth modifier . But when I added a wind, back surface of the fabric touches front surface and passes through it.

How to fix this? If I turn on self collision - fabric swells, like a pillow.

Answer 1

Don't apply the solidify modifier , put it the last here is an example setup :

• the mesh is subdivided before :
• the subsurf modifier is added to smooth the mesh after simulation then we add the solidify modifier.
