Nice!

Does anybody have already an idea what (if ever) should be changed/added to
the data structures in Blender that represent objects, scenes, etc? I can
imagine a new kind of object is needed: a "mesh with dynamic parameters"
(i.e., each node has mass, and the arcs between the nodes have elasticity
and damping).

I have similar "design questions" when trying to understand how best to
integrate "robots" into Blender: robot joints also have damping and
elasticity, and links have mass (and possibly elasticity and damping
too)...
