How do you spin a ping pong ball in its tank?

voilà ma simulation

I would like to create a constraint, spinning my ball in its tank.

And that after the simulation is launched, the ball rotates in the tank thanks to the agitator:

Hello

Have you tried the "standard motion" part of solidworks animation?

Hello

I found that, it may not be the solution but it's a lead.

You will find a similar case in this video (around 31min30s):

It's a tutorial for solidworks animation and this part is about standard movements: the impacts of the parts between them, gravity, all that ... It works very well!

Hello

You have to create a circular trajectory around the agitator and rotate the ball on this trajectory trying to match the speed of the ball and the agitator.

Something like this would be suitable?
