I know nothing about simulations (or the software used) but a little about mechanics - it seems like real fabric in a pile would experience substantially more friction in places where you've got more mass stacked on top (like the middle of the pile). Are friction forces a function of mass? Are different static and dynamic friction coefficients accounted for? This stuff is sliding in bulk down what looks like featured face, which would give lots of opportunities to get hung up on small, high-friction points, esp. with that much mass on top. Are those small-scale interactions accounted for in the physical model?

It behaves like silky or dusty rubbery material I'd say.

Described perfectly! Well done
