Motion Simulation NX7.5: Orbit/Rotating

Motion Simulation NX7.5: Orbit/Rotating

Motion Simulation NX7.5: Orbit/Rotating

(OP)
Hey I am extremely new to motion simulation with NX.  I have NX 7.5. I am trying to have a center gear with a fixed axis of rotation while an outer gear rotates around the center gear and still maintains contact with the teeth of the center gear.  I don't know how clear that is so I pretty much just want a gear to have a circular orbit while rotating around its own center axis.  I am attaching a picture with a diagram of what I am tring to do.  Ignore the outermost gear in the picture.

DID YOU GET YOUR ANSWER somewhere else?

Nope.  My diagram is incorrect.  The part needs to move in a counter-clockwise circle while spinning clockwise.
