(2.4.5)Is there anyway to update PhysicsManager by function for each frame instead of real time simulating in order to predict the result?

For example, suppose I have a pinball game, the ball may finally drop to slot 1 - slot 8, each slot has a detector to notify if the ball drops on it:

Canvas:

cc.Class({
    extends: cc.Component,

    properties: {
        ballRigidBody:{
            type:cc.RigidBody,
            default:null
        },
    },

    onLoad(){
        cc.director.getPhysicsManager().enabled = true;
    }
});

Detector:

cc.Class({
    extends: cc.Component,

    properties: {
        isCollided:false
    },

    // will be called once when two colliders begin to contact
    onBeginContact: function (contact, selfCollider, otherCollider) {
        isCollided=true;
        alert(this.node.name);
    },
});

When I runs the canvas and the ball drops, the detector would tell which slot has the ball drop to. However, I want to predict which slots would the ball go, but not simulating it at real time. Does PhysicsManager support functions like:

cc.Class({
    extends: cc.Component,

    properties: {
        ballRigidBody:{
            type:cc.RigidBody,
            default:null
        },

        detectorArray:{
            type:[require('Detector')],
            default:[]
        }
    },

    onLoad(){
        cc.director.getPhysicsManager().enabled = true;
       
        while(true){
            cc.director.getPhysicsManager().updateFrame(); //is there any function like it?

            for(const detector of detectorArray){
                if(detector.isCollided){
                    break;
                }
            }
        }
    }
});

which simulates the result for each frame by function:

while(true){
    cc.director.getPhysicsManager().updateFrame(); //is there any function like it?

    for(const detector of detectorArray){
        if(detector.isCollided){
            break;
        }
    }
}

and hence let me know which detector would the ball touch immediately?

Let me show the pinball:


now when I runs the canvas, the ball would normally drop and finally stop at slot 3.

But I want to do something different:
The result from server is 3, I need an animation that the ball drop to slot 3, so I need to randomly generate a drop ball animation that the ball goes to slot 3, here is the following pseudo code:

1.Get the required result from server, which is 3 (eg:Need an animation that the ball drops to slot 3)
2.Set the random position x of the ball
3.Simulate the updateFrame() until the ball is stopped at a any slots
4.If the ball is not stop at slot 3, restart at step 2 to set random position x again , until a value of x lets the ball go to slot 3, else if the ball really goes to slot 3, stop the loop and store the position x
5.Play real time animation, starting from setting the ball at position x

Does cocos creator support such function?
