Exceptions
ExceptionCondition
ArgumentException The path is not valid for exporting gbXML files. -or- The name is empty or not valid for exporting gbXML files. -or- Analysis type is invalid. For AnalysisMode.ConceptualMasses, use Document.Export(String, String, MassGBXMLExportOptions). -or- There is no main EnergyAnalysisDetailModel in the document, or the current main EnergyAnalysisDetailModel is not compatible with the option set in the GBXMLExportOptions.
ArgumentNullException A non-optional argument was null
InvalidOperationException Exporting is not allowed in the current application mode. -or- Export is temporarily disabled.
Remarks
This export operation will operate on the main EnergyAnalysisDetailModel in the document, if it exists (see EnergyAnalysisDetailModel.GetMainEnergyAnalysisDetailModel()). If it does not exist, or if the requested ExportEnergyModelType does not match the type of the main EnergyAnalysisDetailModel, this function will fail. If you need to export a model with different settings or type than the current main energy model in the document, you should delete the current main energy model, update the EnergyAnalysisSettings, and regenerate the energy model.
