XYPUNCH in material coordinate system?

XYPUNCH in material coordinate system?

XYPUNCH in material coordinate system?

(OP)
Hi,

I am running a sol 111 restart and I am using XYPUNCH to output QUAD4 stress components (RM & IP).  How do I get the results to be output in the material coordinate system?

Normally if I request STRESS(PUNCH)=ALL in my subcases and I use PARAM,OMID,YES in the BULK section, I get the stresses in the material coordinate system.  

If I leave PARAM,OMID,YES in the BULK section but use XYPUNCH instead of STRESS(PUNCH)=ALL, I get the XYPUNCH results in the element coordinate system.  Does anyone know how to get around this?  Thanks for any advice you can provide!
