Where is the "Generic dimmer" file?

Hi everyone,
I'm looking for the .qxf file of the "generic dimmer" (I want to make some changes/copy this file).
I couldn't find it under the "generic" folder...
Any idea where is it (or maybe someone can share it here)?
Thank you so much!!

The generic files are virtual, they are not stored in files, but it's easy to make one.

Thank you for your answer!!
I'm trying to make the lights at the bottom of the screenshot (AKA "B-Dimmer Pack") work, with no success
I created the "B-Dimmer Pack" by myself, but I can't make it work...
Any idea how to fix this (or, maybe you have a generic dimmer pack file that I can use)?
PFA screenshot+files.
Thank you so much!!

If you go to
https://www.qlcplus.org/fixture_validator.php and run it on your fixture definition, you get the following result:
ERROR: In mode <4CH>, channel <BLUE1> cannot act on itself!
ERROR: In mode <4CH>, channel <RED> cannot act on itself!
ERROR: In mode <4CH>, channel <BLUE2> cannot act on itself!

Sophia,
A dimmer pack is like 4 seconds of work ... I've corrected your file.
(You need to stick to intensity channels if you want the EFX or matrixes to work with intensity channels.)
Now if you drop this dimmer pack into your 2D view, it might be way too big. You set the width to 1200mm. I did not alter this information.
