Define the principal axis of the section in the global coordinates and 
project the displacement on them? It should not be a problem, and can be 
done in the constitutive law (principal axis are constitutive parameters 
of the beam).

I would love ks=kn, so we can just skip the normal and write 
force=rel_disp*k. :-P
