Restrict displacement for Solid in FSI simulation

Hi!
Anyone kindly let me know the procedure to restrict displacement for solid in FSI simulation. My model is 3D symmetric and the problem is simialr to check valve where the valve deflects when the fluid pressure increases. But, I have to restrict the opening of solid valve displacement to 0.3mm in y direction for that I have used integration coupling operator (definitions--> complement coupling--> integration) over a point which is experience maximum displacement.
Under solid mechanics, from global section I have added global constraint if((intop1(v_solid)<0.3[mm]), intop1(v_solid), 0.3[mm])
Here if the condition is true, it should use actual displacement caused by the fluid pressure, else 0.3[mm] of displacement should be allowed.
But my model is showing some conflicts. Stresses on where constraints points weredefined got very high as shown in the image. Aim was to restrict the solid displacement in y direction unfortunately stress got much higher and also the deformation patterns does not seems logical. Please help to understand am I going in the right way or are they any other way to restrict displacements for solid in FSI simulation?
Thank You. Suraj Sukumaran
