fsi flexible splitter plate

Hi,There is an example of Fluid-Structure interaction problem given in Comsol model library which is an oscillating beam. I tried to give some change to that model. I separated the beam from the cylinder to investigate the detached splitter plate, removed the Gaussian pulse function and the point load, and applied a fixed displacement constraint to the plate's edge opposite the cylinder. The solution diverged. even when I assumed that the plate is rigid; the solution did diverge . If I run this simulation for an splitter plate attached to the cylinder without point load and Gaussian pulse function, the solution is convergent. Can anyone suggest why my simulation is not convergent in the other two cases?
Thanks,
Bryan
