Integrate over arbitrary surface using script

Hi,
Normally, 'post int' can only integrate the value on existing boudnaries. Now the problem is to integrate the value on an arbitrary surface.
First, I want to interpolate the data on specific interier surface (not a existing boundary) where I can define the position and the shape. This can be done by using function 'post interp'.
And then I need to do intergral of these value on the surface. The possible function is 'meshintegrate'. But normally this function is used together with the function 'postcrossplot'. As I found in the help, there is only example that to plot the value on the cross section defined by three point. Is it possible to define a surface with certain area with limit x y range (not cross section) by 'postcrossplot'?
