This section covers Chaos Phoenix operators for particle systems.

## **Overview**

---

Phoenix provides a number of tools for use with particle systems in a simulation.

UI Path for Export tool: UI Path: ||Quad menu (with a [Fire Smoke Simulator ](https://docs-chaos.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PHX4MAX/pages/124760253)selected)|| > **Phoenix FD Export Particles...**

 

## **Operators**

---

Phoenix includes these particle operators:

- [Phoenix FD Birth Operator](https://docs-chaos.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PHX4MAX/pages/124361982) - Creates particles based on fluid parameters.
- [Phoenix FD Force Operator](https://docs-chaos.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PHX4MAX/pages/124528505) - Allows particles to be driven by the fluid's motion.
- [Phoenix FD Test Operator](https://docs-chaos.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PHX4MAX/pages/125083397) - Moves particles to a new event based on a test threshold.

 

 

## **Export Tool**

---

Phoenix also provides a tool for exporting particles.

[Phoenix Export PRT Particles](https://docs-chaos.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PHX4MAX/pages/124496728) - Exports a particle system to a .prt file, which can then be imported with the [PRT Reader](https://docs-chaos.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PHX4MAX/pages/124528736).
