Open pipe, static pressure, jet reaction

I would like to model a pipe with welded elbows, which receives water from a pump and jet it in atmosphere.
The pipe is loaded with internal residual pressure, load due fluid velocity and jet reaction.
When I apply only the residual pressure on the internal surface of pipe and albows, the model is not stable.
I mean, the residual pressure (static) is applied by the program as an external load, like jet reaction....

Have you applied displacement constraints to the pipe to prevent it from "flying away"? This could be a source of your instability.
