honzik proposed the following answer:

>1.  I created a RotationEngine and a TranslationEngine, both with the

>translational and rotational movement. But I see that just the one that

O.engines = [
...
RotationEngine(...) + TranslationalEngine(...)
...
]

>
>2. I want to change the position and orientation of the body at some iterations. Can I do it using some Engine? I cannot imagine that I can do this using the TranslationEngine, as with this Engine I can define just the velocity. 
O.bodies[...].state.pos = vector3(a,b,c)
but I am not sure if this works or not...
