Tensor generalizations of the virial theorem were checked in a 100-body integration. The virial theorem was remarkably well satisfied, and the calculation confirmed the generalized Lagrange-Jacobi identities. The potential energy tensor, the kinetic energy tensor, and the virial tensor showed surprisingly long correlation times of about of a crossing time.
