Can you run the check model on an element in Rhapsody via the Rhapsody API?

Hi All,
I know it is possible to run the checkModel() function that is part of the IPRApplication Interface. Can we instead of running the checkModel() function on the whole Rhapsody project, we run on an selected element in the Rhapsody project? I cannot find the way in the Rhapsody API and would appreciate it if I can get any help :).
Regards,
Srin
