Hello Medi,
the external user force (in your installation directory) is the way forward. Look at the examples provided. This requires a bit of simple python coding though.
Your spring force is proportional to the elongation (you have access to the position) and your damping force is proportional to the velocity (which you also have access to).
Kind regards Ingrid
