Total kinetic energy displays different in solve report and analyst tree

Hi

The value of total enery(i.e.164) in the solve report in simulator was quiet different with the value(i.e. 0.1) in the analyst tree(particle->all->kinetic energy->total ) in my simulation. 

Thanks

    Hi Raheem,

    The total energy would include the Potential energy in the system (Calculated from 0,0,0 in the global cooridnate system) so this could be causing the difference?
