Vortex-induced vibration is a critical phenomenon that occurs in offshore structures and causes fatigue and damage to these structures. Previous studies show that these structures show complex and sometimes non-linear behavior. This study uses a rigid cylinder with non-linear support to evaluate the hydrodynamic parameters in these systems. The amount of non-linearity of the support has been changed, and its effect on the hydrodynamic parameters of the system has been investigated. The displacement and velocity of the cylinder were obtained by solving the two-dimensional Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes and cylinder motion equations. The lift, potential, and vortex coefficients were calculated. Finally, the Strouhal number was determined. The results show that the system's behavior consists of two branches. In branch 1, the motion amplitude of the cylinder is small, but in branch 2, its amplitude is multiplied. By increasing the non-linearity of the support, the range of branch 2 becomes smaller, and the velocity of the cylinder oscillation increases. Raising the support non-linearity reduces the lift force and Strouhal number
