Tcl command to obtain elements that are connected via any CONTACT or TIE group to a componenet

I would like to Isolate a component from an FEA model. To do so, I want to determine:

  1. All attached elements to a specific component (can be done via TCL)
  2. All elements that are connected via physical connectors (like CONTACT or TIE)

The elements in (2) will be used to define the location of boundary conditions in the reduced model.

Is it possible to get a thorough list of elements that are connected physically to my component and where they are connected to said component?

Thank you!
