Connecting a sliding gear to a rotating gear

Need help in simulating the internal, external gear pair. And the gear-2 here will move horizontally and engage with gear-1. Also, gear-2 should start rotating after teeth engagement with gear-1. I am interested in dynamic simulation in this case. Is this possible in Creo Mechanism MDO? Thanks for your help!

    Yes possible. Maybe not easy.

    It requires using 3d contact capability and cannot use built-in gear connections because they are continuous.

    The simplest might be using spheres at the pitch diameters with tooth thickness as the diameters.

    There are also other ways to manually replicate the contacting surfaces using the limited set of 3d contact options.

    Make sure time stepping is small enough that it does not miss contact occurring.

     

    This design will grind teeth unless it has a mechanism to bring both sets to similar speed before meshing.
