I dont know of any rhino plugins, but you may want to look at the punchcad softwares... Fairly inexpensive. I cant speak to the quality or capabilty of the output, but you can look into them.

This isn't where Rhino shines. Usually you create a single part in Rhino and then import it into SolidWorks to create the assembly and maintain the materials list.

Thanks for all suggestions.

I did the deep study as far as I can understand. I installed trial of SW, IronCAD, Rhino with Scan and solve (FEA), Alibre and Inventor. What I conclude is that I need to bite a bullet and go for Autodesk Inventor 2012. It's the only complete, easiest and fastest CAD software I have ever used IMO.

You need a PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) software.
look at this address: the first plm also for rhino files.
