I am starting to design/create a set of new example datasets for ParaView. These include vtk legacy and xml datasets.

So, a question. Currently, I have EnSight .case, Exodus, and varying flavors of VTK. What other datasets should be included in the examples? If you make a proposal, where do I find these datasets?

Thanks, Alan

I’m wondering if a Plot3D dataset should be included. Even though it’s a fairly old format it does seem to have stuck around and still popular in the CFD community.
