In this paper, four artificial neural network (ANN) models [i.e., feed-forward neural network (FFNN), function fitting neural network (FITNET), cascade-forward neural network (CFNN) and generalized regression neural network] have been developed for atomic coordinate prediction of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The research reported in this study has two primary objectives: (1) to develop ANN prediction models that calculate atomic coordinates of CNTs instead of using any simulation software and (2) to use results of the ANN models as an initial value of atomic coordinates for reducing number of iterations in calculation process. The dataset consisting of 10,721 data samples was created by combining the atomic coordinates of elements and chiral vectors using BIOVIA Materials Studio CASTEP (CASTEP) software. All prediction models yield very low mean squared normalized error and mean absolute error rates. Multiple correlation coefficient (R) results of FITNET, FFNN and CFNN models are close to 1. Compared with CASTEP, calculation times decrease from days to minutes. It would seem possible to predict CNTs' atomic coordinates using ANN models can be successfully used instead of mathematical calculations.
