How to suppress multiple time-steps in a load object based on some logic?

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)
