Membrane valve

I'm trying to simulate membrane valve for water flow with a help of FSI module.
On the attachment you can see the membrane (bottom part) and the constraint (upper part) with channels.
If I simulate valve without channels filling, there is no problems: by means of contact pair between lower and upper part I can open and close the membrane. But when I'm trying to add fluid into channels, I can't apply the Fluid-Structure interface boundary because of the contact pair.
And so the question: how to simulate filled valve opening?
For example: one channel is inlet with 1 Bar water flow, the other - with 0 Bar and the membrane is opening downstairs.
Best wishes,
Vladimir
