I'm a little unclear - are these OpenFOAM time parameters? It looks like it
will produce 4,000,000 / 4,000 = 1,000 time steps?

Time 100 corresponds to the 100th output time step, which would be 100 *
4,000 = 400,000 in whatever the OpenFOAM time units are (seconds?).

I'm not that familiar with OpenFOAM data sets, but my understanding is that
time information is embedded in the output case directory structure.
ParaView should display the time in the "Time:" display in the topmost
toolbar next to the time frame control, which should show 100.

Hope that helps,
Cory
