To be able to run stress analysis on an assembly, you need to have SolidWorks Premium with the Simulation add-in active.

As for materials to use, that depends on what it is you're making and what you expect it to do.

    It depends on what the manufacturing process is
    
    Machined (probably not) 6061
    Formed, maybe 5052
    Extruded, maybe 6105
