To successfully sample a Phoenix FD Simulation's Grid channel, the respective channel export should be enabled under the Output rollout of the Phoenix FD Simulator.

If the channel is not present, the TP Sample operator will return a value of 0.

You can find more information about the ranges of the grid channels in the Grid Channel Ranges page.
