Spatial volume integration in partial 3D domain from Derived values?

Hi, guys,
I intend to obtain data using volume integration from Derived Values. The thing is that i only can get the data of whole 3D domain (such as -10mm=<z<=10mm) instead of partion of that (such as middle half -5mm=<z<=5mm). I have read several blogs, with suggestions by using integration coupling components or adding another physical interface. Besides, most of them are based on 2D model and i couldnt find videos or files to learn. Perhaps there exsit some simple or quick ways to do this calculation, has anyone had this experience?

If all you want is to employ simple constraints on x, y, or z during evaluation, then simple Booleans are very easy to apply. Just multiply your integrand by the appropriate Boolean expression. A true expression evaluates to 1 and a false expression evaluates to 0. For example, suppose you want to integrate a quantity f but only where x<7. Then integrate the quantity f*(x<7). You can combine Boolean expressions to create more complicated logical constraints. Look up the available "operators" in the Help system. Use "&&" for the logical and operation and "||" for logical or. For example, (x>3)&&(x<7) will evaluate to one if x is between 3 and 7, but will evaluate to zero otherwise.

An alternative is to use one or more Filter datasets. This usually gives a more accurate result than multiplying the integrand by a Boolean expression.
