Suppressing components in Fea?

Hello;

       I'm somewhat new with the fea, but I have an assembly where we have some testing we'd like to do. One would just be a housing, one would be the housing & two other objects, & one would be the housing and around 1/2 dozen components. Can I do these all in the same assembly, with configurations, suppressing the components? I would think that Fea would consider suppressed components not there, but I'm not sure.

Thanks, in advance for any input;
