This option decides whether the values coming from each component will be averaged at a shared node or not.
The averaging calculation itself will be based on Averaging method such as Simple or Advanced and other options.
Simple averaging means that tensor and vector components are extracted, and the invariants are computed prior to averaging.
Advanced averaging means that tensor (or vector) results are transformed into a consistent system and then each component is averaged separately to obtain an average tensor (or vector).
