Question #271596 on Yade changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/271596

Bruno Chareyre proposed the following answer:
EnergyTracker is the only way to track some energy terms (e.g. dissipation by Newton.damping is nearly impossible to compute by yourself).
On the other hand gravitational work is indeed not available without gravityEngine and also some energy dissipated in contact laws are not always included automatically (in such case the law itself has a function returning dissipated energy).
For details on what is calculated you'll have to check the code unfortunately, but I think the names of the terms speaks by itslef. Is is not clear what kinetic energy is??
