For my Abaqus user element, I need to have 6 degrees of freedom (all displacement ) but degrees of freedom in Abaqus are reserved. For example, degrees of freedom from 3 to 6 are rotations about x,y and z axis. Can using dof from 1 to 6 as displacement produce error? if so, how I can introduce more displacement degrees of freedom? 

thanks in advance.
