When I define a viscoelastic prony series material model in Engineering data, the plot of shear stress vs time always shows “1 second” along the denominator regardless of how large the user defined relaxation time (tau) is. Does this value of “1” really represent time and if so, how do I change it?

Solution
ParticipantThe x axis of the shear stress vs time in Engineering Data does represent time and the default is “1”. You can change this default, by RMB on the X axis Label, turn off autoscale and manually specify the desired time range for this plot. See attached video for a demonstration
