I want to suppress the step when displacement reaches zero or below -0.1. However, the example is just a simplified version of displacement input, the actual one is far more complicated.

Can I suppress certain time steps as one go, rather than doing individually and manually. Because it will too time consuming.

    One can use SetPropertyByStep function of the internal load object and build a logic around it. Example code below suppresses all the steps with YComponent values below zero:

    displacement = ExtAPI.DataModel.Tree.ActiveObjects[0]
original_step_values = displacement.YComponent.Output.DiscreteValues
for index, entry in enumerate(original_step_values, start=1):
    if entry.Value < 0.0:
        displacement.InternalObject.SetPropertyByStep(index, "Active", False)
