[Feature]: Get the total energy of a rigid entity #2309

What feature or enhancement are you proposing?

Hello,

I am currently trying to get the total energy of a robot (RigidEnitity). Right now I'm doing it "by hand" since I couldn't find an easy way to get the system's energy from the api (I found some stuff at the solver level but in taichi). I think it could be useful to have a simple function at the entity level.

By "total energy" I mean : motor work, kinematic energy, rotationnal kinematic energy, gravitational potential, friction loss, and I don't know if possible but something like "heat loss" ie. a motor forcing against its limits.

Do you think that would be easily possible ?

Thank you have a nice day !
