Claim One:
1. A method of supporting an optimum wiring design of a linear structure, comprising: providing a finite element model of the linear structure, the finite element model being formed as an elastic body having a plurality of combined beam elements which retain linearity; setting a physical property and restriction conditions of the linear structure to the finite element model; calculating a predictive shape of the finite element model which is in a physically balanced condition based on the physical property and the restriction conditions; calculating a reaction at a predetermined evaluation point of the predictive shape; comparing the reaction with a predetermined threshold value; and outputting a comparison result of the reaction comparing process, wherein the calculating process of the predictive shape calculates the predictive shape by setting a forced displacement destination of a predetermined control point of the linear structure as one of the restriction conditions, to the finite element model.
