I have one vtu file, it has an “AppendedData” section, in this section, it contains the binary data of all cells. I can open this file without any error in paraview(I know this software also uses vtk), but If I try to read that file by using vtkXMLUnstructuredGridReader directly, it will failed. like this.

Hello, can you try a more recent version of VTK? Like 9.4.0?

Your file is readable and can be viewed in VTK WebAssembly demos which also uses vtkXMLUnstructuredGridReader
