Unfortunately, the accuracy of that data will be limited by the accuracy of the inputs, and most of the input data can only be determined from having a very precise model of the car's suspension. (And fancy software )
I wonder if damper companies (Bilstein, Koni, Eibach, etch) go into this much detail when developing their dampers.
