Thank you Zach for your reply, that clears it up.

I have one more question then. Since I was not able to run the code in my
laptop, I tried downloading the datafiles from the following site.

https://zenodo.org/record/155394

I run into the following problem. When following the tutorial example in '
https://docs.einsteintoolkit.org/et-docs/GW150914_VisIt_Tutorial ' on the
section "A visualization example", it shows a long folder of
surface01_00xxxxx.vtk datafiles, all of which are different time steps for
the black hole horizons. But when looking at the downloaded file, I cannot
seem to find all these .vtk files. Instead I only find one .vtk file, and
therefore am unable to run the complete simulation. Does anyone understand
what's going on?

Thank you so much for your help.
Best regards,
Enzo
