Suppressing a Body Merge temporarily removes the resulting merged body from the geometry. You can then generate a solution using the bodies that were previously selected for the merge. Unsuppressing and re-merging the Body Merge restores the merged body to the geometry, allowing you to use it again.
The bodies in a suppressed Body Merge do not necessarily revert to the properties they had before the merge. Suppression also affects scoping and meshing. For more information, see How Body Merge Affects Body Attributes, Scoping, and Meshing.
