[Question #681180]: How to impose an initial angular velocity on a moving/free particle?

I've tried three ways to impose an initial angular velocity on a free polyhedron but they do not work well as commented in the script. Please help me with this. Thanks!

# Initial angular velocity 
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # 
##Directly assigning the angular velocity- Not imposing initial angular velocity
#O.bodies[0].state.angVel=Vector3(1,0,0)

## using: "b.state.angMom" - This could work, but how can I get a specific magnitude of velocity?
#O.bodies[0].state.angMom=Vector3(b.state.inertia[0]*angVelVector[0],1,1)

## using: "utils.setBodyAngularVelocity" - Not working for non-fixed bodies
utils.setBodyAngularVelocity(0,5*Vector3(1,1,1))
