Reaction wheel in SimMechanics

How to create a reaction relationship between two bodies in SimMechanics?
Task: transferring torque from a reaction wheel to the body it is attached to.
Problem: the wheel rotates, but the body does not move, the torque is not transferred.
Software used: transferring a model from SolidWorks to SimMechanics.

Sharing the model, or at least a snapshot of the model, would be useful for the community to help you diagnose the problem.
Hi @Andrew Sol, can you attach the data for "simData" variable as well.
Hi @Animesh, simdata and new file attached. There I form the transfer of the moment from the wheel to the body manually. Initially, this connection did not exist.
@Andrew Sol, the model also needs the configuration data file generated when exporting from SolidWorks. It should be a file named "x________2_DataFile7.m". The "_" part may be character not recognized by my system. I believe @Animesh was asking for the same thing. The file defines the "smiData" variable that is used to define the parameters of the joints and bodies.
