Agreed. As said, we have performed this transfomation using another self
made tool.
Still, after this transformation rotational energy is not equidistributed.

Can we agree that using constraints or a rigid body approach (so maybe
using quaternions) should
give the same physics (so the same equipartition rules should apply to
both systems)?
Or if we cannot agree on this, what kind of physical objects are
constraint waters if not rigid bodies?
