In general:
- Don't use an equation if you are not familiar with that. Use coupling or a rigid body. They are easier to handle.
- Make sure that every body is restraint, so that no unlimited movement in any direction can happen.

You are pulling the reference point through U2 direction but there is not any connection between your reference point and Part-2(cylinderycal part) in the same direction (U2) direction. Therefore your RP-1 is only sliding in the space and so non of load is applied the model. This is why the stress is zero.
The displacement of RP-1 is not be seen in the results. If you want to see its movement you may define a point mass on the RP-1.
Then you can see that displacement is applied to the RP-1 but it is not transferring to the PART-2.
I have no idea why you define an equation.
