DFA or DFM module for Solidworks?

I was curious if Solidworks had any module that can perform a design for assembly or design for manufacture evaluation. There are other programs that can tell you how easy or hard it would be for manual labour or an automated machine to assemble an item, or how difficult it would be to manufacture a specific part. I was hoping Solidworks might have a module that does this before we go shopping for a third party program.
 
Not sure about assembly sequencing, but there's DFMPro from Geometric that looks at the millability/turnability and to some extent moldability of parts.
