I've tried to use Noise Field DOP with the Field Force, but had no results. In this case i have no force and torque attributes, so how could i use/control the noise of the Field Force DOP using Noise Field DOP ?

Works just fine.

Field Force DOP can take in a whole range of different geometry types: geometry attribute, copied geometry, copied fields, scalar field, vector field. Wire this first in to the Field Force DOP

With any of those sources, you can wire in a Noise Field DOPin to the green input of the Field Force DOP after the first source geometry.

See the attached file.

So i always should have SOP Geometry or Vector field etc node attached to the green input and Noise DOP something like addition ? If i attach only Noise node to the green input, I'll see nothing ?

We are talking about the Field Force DOP. This DOP needs either geometry with attributes to use as either force or torque or a scalar or vector field fed in to it. Then you can add noise on top of this to perturb the result of the Field Force DOP.

jeff, thank you very much. I've clarified my misunderstandings
