The data needed for developing the NRBF model is generated simulating a parameterized CAD model in ANSYS Workbench 14.5. Plausible input data for the CAD model is created using Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) method. A torque arm is considered to proof the concept. The comparison between the result obtained from the proposed method and the solution from ANSYS Workbench itself shows that, the NRBF-BA model is indeed effective in providing a reasonable solution for a moderately complex problem. © (2014) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland. date: 2014 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84891524384&doi=10.4028%2fwww.scientific.net%2fAMR.845.631&partnerID=40&md5=246f318b5d70f350bdbaf51c8ebf6314 id_number: 10.4028/www.scientific.net/AMR.845.631 full_text_status: none publication: Advanced Materials Research volume: 845 place_of_pub: Johor Bahru pagerange: 631-636 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9783037859360 issn: 10226680 citation: Lemma, T.A. and Fakhruldin, M.H.
