If you feel "possible" is too strong, but you believe it's absolutely necessary to capture "удавалось", you could add "successfully" after "been" in the second version, but avoid that if possible. Or, if appropriate, express it entirely differently: "Before now, researchers [or whoever it is] had been able to do such calcuations only for..."
