I have just finished implementing such a thing, where you can a tabulated 
potential energy as input to calculate position dependent forces for particles. 
In my case it is the result of a FEM solution of the Laplace equation, to make 
particles move in a position dependent electric field. The implementation can 
easily be used for force interpolation (it is a bit technical, wether to take 
the potential or the field as input…).

It is not documented yet and it is tested quite carefully, but not fully yet. I 
would like to have it ready for other users by the end of next week, or maybe a 
bit later. If you need it earlier, please let me know, then I can give you 
access to the corresponding branch and give a brief introduction. We are not 
planning any new releases, so it makes sense to use the github version anyways.

Cheers 
Stefan
