Is Onshape able to animate my assembly?

I have two revolute mates on 2 parts and a tangent mate between the sliding faces which is a cam and lever type set up. The revolute mates work fine until I create the tangent mate. Also on the same assembly there is a similar effect between a rotating gear and a rotating gear tooth which is also connected to the lever. I would like to rotate the gear and have the tooth and lever move accordingly if this is possible.

I changed the tangent mate to use the edges of the part instead of the faces.
I added a limit to the rotation of the cam to be 1° less in both min and max positions so that the cam is never "flat" on the arm.\
