I use a lot Prepomax for meshing, and very often I need to export some parts of an assembly, not all the parts. Could it be added an option to export only the selected meshed parts?

As a workaround, you can run Check Model and use deformed mesh export to .inp:

Could it be, but would be more fluid just selecting the part(s) in the model tree and having the export option in the contextual menu, without extra steps.

I think I can add the same behavior as is done for geometry export.

I have reworked the Export menu. The Mesh menu supoprts export of selected part meshes (and a little teaser for the next version).
