TranslationEngine will work for dynamic bodies, as it only sets
velocity, nothing else. It will fail for non-dynamic bodies, as velocity
will not be integrated for them (JumpChangeSe3 does that, however).

BTW It is a good idea to use interpolating engine for cyclic loading and
such 1-1 particle tests, rather than ugly loops I had. You'd prescribe
points in time and values of displacement etc, and then the engine takes
care of the rest. I hope we find a way to make it a piece in Yade Lego.
