NX Journal Script to Export Expressions to .exp File

This script exports all expressions from the work part to a .exp file.
The .exp format is NX's native expression export format and captures ALL expressions
including formulas, references, and unitless expressions.

Usage: run_journal.exe export_expressions.py <prt_file_path> <output_exp_path>
