A supporting apparatus for supporting an optimum wiring design of a linear structure includes a providing unit which provides 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, a setting unit which sets a physical property and restriction conditions of the linear structure to the finite element model, a first calculating unit which calculates a predictive shape of the finite element model which is in a physically balanced condition based on the physical property and the restriction conditions; a second calculating unit which calculates a reaction at a predetermined evaluation point of the predictive shape, a comparing unit which compares the reaction with a predetermined threshold value, and an outputting unit which outputs a comparison result by the comparing unit. The first calculating unit 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.
