The next step would be to make a test file with a PCOMP. I would first start with just a single layer and make sure a change of orientation is correct. Then I would try a multi-directional laminate.
I think the other consideration is the orientation of the element itself (local orientation vs an orientation specified with w.r.t. a coord system). This is important for general problems since for a general quad/tri mesh has local system in many directions (but the properties are usually desired to be w.r.t. a coord system (not local system in that case).
