    # Global Model Mesh
mesh_data = ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.Analyses[0].MeshData

# Get contact
contact = ExtAPI.DataModel.GetObjectsByName("Bonded - Pump_assy_3-FreeParts|PumpHousing To Pump_assy_3-FreeParts|Impeller")[0]

contact_face = contact.SourceLocation.Ids[0]
target_face = contact.TargetLocation.Ids[0]

# Target side nodes
target_nodes = mesh_data.MeshRegionById(target_face).NodeIds
# Target side elements (not CONTA or TARG elements)
target_elements = mesh_data.ElementIdsFromNodeIds(target_nodes)

# Source side nodes
contact_nodes = mesh_data.MeshRegionById(contact_face).NodeIds
# Source side elements (not CONTA or TARG elements)
contact_elements = mesh_data.ElementIdsFromNodeIds(contact_nodes)
