In Framework Manager I can see all the field names and on a individual basis go in and look at the Expression definitions. I was wondering if there is anyway to extract a list of all the fields in a business model and the expression definition?

Framework Manager has a model documentation option should be convenient here.
It's under Tools menu and called Model Report.
A short description can be found here:

We have a c# solution that reads the model.xml and extracts the field names, type, expression, description (release add, release modify, corresponding host field name),etc and inserts it into a table. This is very handy because we have a Cognos report written off of the table so that the client can search for fields based on any of this criteria​. Obviously I cannot share the solution, but it is all in the model.xml and someone with some pretty basic c# (vb.net, powershell, etc) skills could extract this data for you)
