Mating Help: Gerotor

I am trying to mate two parts in an assembly using SW2011.
The parts are the inner and outer gears of a gerotor. I
cannot figure out how to mate the two parts so that the
outer gear/ring stays fixed while the inner gear rotates
around inside the outer, rolling and meshing their teeth.
Sorta like a circular rack and pinion (I have't been
successful with the rack & pinion mate feature so far). Can
anyone suggest how to do this? Thanks in advance!
