Hi,  
Apart from the examples delivered within Paraview, where can I find scenes decomposed with vtp file ?

Thank you.

You can easily create your own using the TimeManager, but could you explain what you are trying to do here ?

II just would like to see some other files with this code :[https://kitware.github.io/vtk-js/examples/TimeSeries/index.html](https://kitware.github.io/vtk-js/examples/TimeSeries/index.html)

I don’t have a paraview project. So I just would like to find some public vtp files coming from other persons projects like I could do with files with glb or gltf format.

Do you want to learn how to geneate such files with ParaView ?

If not, you can download data from [https://www.paraview.org/download/](https://www.paraview.org/download/)

this is because your have a composite dataset, use MergeBlocks and select “PolyData” as an output. Then you can save to .vtp
