That's what i'm doing right now, a small app that will allow anyone to put a XML file and see the interpolated results on a graphical chart.
Currently i have implemented two polynomial interpolation methods, that seem to produce very similar polynoms, with differences in the order of 1.10^-16. I think the choice will be made on performance as the algorithms involved are totally different (Lagrange and Neville).

Actually once the interpolated data is correct, the sim will base it's figures on that. No 'modelling' behind the scenes, just a big polynomial solver (i'll begin with Newton's method - we'll see later if we need something more powerful).
(note) setting up a thread for interpolation methods could be useful, if anyone besides me has any knowledge about that. I'd be glad if someone provided me with an algorithm for a Bernstein one-dimensional method (also called B-Spline by some ppl, though i thought it was Bezier)
