In this article, the effect of how to model the chromium nanobeam support on its static response has been studied. The material of the nanobeam is chrome, its thickness is 100 nm, and the concentrated force applied to the free end of the nanobeam is 117 nano-newtons. The finite element simulation by SolidWorks software was used to investigate the behavior of the nanobeam based on the type of simulation used in the support. For this purpose, different conditions that can simulate the laboratory arrangement of a nanobeam were considered. The comparison of the SolidWorks software results in different situations shows that the way of simulating the support is very effective on the static deflection value of the nanobeam and cannot be ignored. As a result, it is very necessary to carefully examine the size and type of support in mechanical nanostructures during the mathematical modeling of a laboratory phenomenon, and this requires a lot of theoretical and experimental knowledge.
