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.
