Hello, I have several vtp files and I want to process it in parallel. I have read that I can create a pvtp parallel file that point to the serial vtp and then a parallel server distribute between the process.
Is there some way in paraview to load all the vtps and save the pvtp or I need to create the pvtp by hand or script?
Thanks

You need to create it manually.
It would be nice to be able to save a multiblock as a .pvtp if all the blocks are polydata though. Same with unstructured grid. Feel free to open an issue on our gitlab.
