The Backburner submission window creates a new job with a unique name each time it's Run. It simulates all selected Phoenix simulators in the scene in the order they were selected and then optionally renders out images. The simulation and render sequence length corresponds to the current length of the timeline. The submission dialog uses a custom script which is located in [3ds Max install location]\scripts\Startup\PhoenixFDMenu.ms and can be altered if needed.
