OK I admit, I feel stupid. I read the docs, looked at the examples, but I do not get understand how to get POP into DOP network, and use DOPs to solver particles sims.
I have POP network.
In DOP net, I drop a POPSolver and reference it in in DOP/POPSolver/POP Path. I get nothing. It does not work.

So I do not understand the process of solving particles with DOPs?

When I look at example files, I do not understand what is happening in them.

So what I am looking is a simple explanation. Starting with POP network that has in it an emitter source. How to bring it into DOP?

OK I got it.

Apparently a POPObjectDOP node is required all the time, even w/o an initial state.

You can also use the shelf tools to help you through the learning process, I sometimes find them more useful than examples. You could make a popnet, then apply the Pop Object shelf tool(under Create Particles) which would properly insert the POP sim into the DOPs sim. Apart from the occasional extraneous merge and gravity, most of the time the shelf tools give you what you need, I never assume you can leave things out.
