We present a new particle module of the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Piernik code. The original multi-fluid grid code based on the Relaxing Total Variation Diminishing (RTVD) scheme has been extended by addition of dust described within the particle approximation. The dust is now described as a system of interacting particles. The particles can interact with gas, which is described as a fluid. In this poster we introduce the scheme used to solve equations of motion for the particles and present the first results coming from the module. The results of test problems are also compared with the results coming from fluid simulations made with Piernik-MHD code. The comparison shows the most important differences between fluid and particle approximations used to describe dynamical evolution of dust under astrophysical conditions.
