How do you have your data given? If it is a time-series, you will 
probably have to interpolate, since otherwise the simulation would 
depend on the time step. Does the force change at every step? And so on. 
For some scenarios, it can be better (from the performance perspective) 
to do it in c++, for other it is simpler in python. Then we will be able 
to determine the best way to do it.
