I am not familiar with Solidworks software older than 2002 version, so is it safe to assume that Solidworks 2001 does not provide the option to model physical interference during movement? In 2002 and newer, at the very least, you can model the interference of physical parts against one another and that should serve to make a geneva mechanism work.
