In Clothray you can distribute the content the main double loop in
'Iterate_Cloth_Simulation()'.  But after every execution of the loop the
content of the position and velocity arrays have to be synchronized
between the nodes.  I doubt this would be efficient because this is a lot
of data and one simulation step does not take very long.

Mechsim can be handled similarly but i would suggest you wait for the next
version because there will be a change in the code structure (the
different integration methods will be in separate functions).
