In order to compute the mean value of a quantity on a volume, you need to follow the procedure below. For instance, one would like to compute the mean value of B on the volume region Region_1.

1Create Sensor_1 that computes the volume integral of B on Region_1.
2Create Sensor_2 that computes the volume integral of 1 on Region_1. It gives the volume of the region.
3Evaluate Sensor_1 and Sensor_2
4From menu Advanced, select Current value I/O parameter and compute Mod(Sensor_1)/Sensor_2 in order to get the mean value of B on Region_1.
