Abaqus radial expansion and rotation

Hello Everyone,

I need a help regarding simulation of tube rolling process which constists of 3 rollers that are radially expanding and rotating.
First thing first I'm trying to conduct simulation of just one roller kinematics so that the roller expands and rotates.
I need to have roller expansion and rotation (around center of the tube - center point), but when using coupling constraint Roller_reference (RP) is moved with the roller from the center point and the rotation is then from this reference point that has been moved with the roller from the center of the tube
When I try using 2 reference points sometimes it gives certain errors due to this.
Thank you for your help.
