My attempt was that I created 2 Reference Points at the centers of the two base of the cylinder and made a wire between them. Using that wire, I made a planar connector. But when I Provide displacement BC to the cylinder, it also moves above the plane.
I expected that the result would be something like the cylinder slides on the plane and due to the upward displacement, a stress is generated.
I believe there is something wrong with the way I made the connector. (I am very new to this software)

I suggest you to use zero thickness interface element between the cylinder and thin sheet. In abaqus there is a surface to surface contact element available, use this for simulating the contact between two dissimilar materials.
