Layered shell and surface integration

I am trying to simulate the heating of a freestanding membrane by a laser beam, including surface radiation (black body) I modelled the membrane with layered shell with 2 layers (two materials) and added the "heat transfer in shells" physics with a time dependent simulation I am getting the correct membrane heating and I can see the temperature profile across the membrane
Now I would like to make a surface integration (in derived values) to have the total dissipated power via surface radiation and the total beam deposited power In particular I would like to integrate these two quantities over the whole membrane surface: htlsh.rflux - Radiative heat flux htlsh.dbpi1.Qb - Deposited beam power density
In a 3D geometry this would work easily, but with layered shells I cant find a way to make it work, always get an error "undefined variable" on "bounday 1"
any ideas?
thank you
