Planetary gears motion

[eabeniteztarin]

Hello, I am having troubles with the planet gears, if you rotate the sun gear the planet moves but they do not rotate correctly so I can not do a motion study. Another thing is that I want to change the ring thickness because I did 1 mm and I need it as 2 mm but I don't know how to do it or if that affect all the design (the other gears). I will attatch the file in case you guys need it to have an idea of what I need.

Thank you!

Attached in your model.  You do not need to go into such fancy formula when defining Motion Links, a simple ratio is all that is needed.  I labeled the one Joint you need to Drive the Assembly, Panel Carrier1 - Drive Me.  One planetary gear is not meshed correctly as I ran out of time to correct it.

Next time, avoid the use of Primitives in the creation of bodies, they are harder to manipulate.  Model is attached.
