Yes this software enables you to define your function or specific scalers which is called UDF (User defined Function) or UDS (User defined Scaler).

For more information, contact me. I will do my best.

Thank you for your response dear Yasin.

Actually by user defined element, I mean element with more degree of freedom (dof). For exmaple, I need an element with 3 displacement dof, 1 temperature dof, and 1 chemical potential dof.
