I think I did not describe it properly: I'm really not trying to conserve
the velocity. My first algorithm did an estimation of the motion directly
from the forces, not with the velocities. I thought that having explicitly
the velocities would improve the behaviour of the cloth.

I'm still working on this... I'm not sure if it will be helpful.

Thanks for your comments,

Fernando.
