How can I add a force which magnitude determined by distance between two specific nodes? Not simple function as spring, but user defined relationship.

    you could create a non-linear spring with a user-defined stiffness (force x deflection).

    I want to create the spring with cycling behavior, like this:

    if (If the remainder of time divided by two is less than 1) { Force = spring displacement*2 - spring speed *1}

    if (If the remainder of time divided by two is more than 1) { Force = -spring displacement*2 + spring speed *1}

    Is that kind of complicated function possible?
