I am currently doing a project for college which involvesdesigining and manufacturing a Geneva Machanism.

I have created all the parts in Solidworks and assembled them fine.
The problem I have is that I cannot figure out how to simulate therotating motion of the mechanism. I have mated all the parts sothat they are free to rotate or move in only the directionsrequired, but it is the action of the drive part on the driven thatis giving me problems.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am still getting togrips with the software.

If this is topic is in the wrong area ...... sorry.
