How does the analysis interpret the time beyond the shear relaxation test data? Will it be a linear behavior. Say, I have shear relaxation data for 10 minutes, and I set my analysis to run for a time of 20 minutes.

      At time beyond the full relaxation time (tau), your modulus will be at G_inf. Viscoelasticity is nonlinear and the behavior will not be linear.
