The design itself is sent to all analysis modules including manufacturability, inspectibility, and engineering analysis modules; redesign decisions are based on all results at once.
parallel programs -theoretically, these computer programs do more than one thing simultaneously.
parity -a parity bit is often added to bytes for error detection purposes. The two typical parity methods are even and odd. Even parity bits are set when an even number of bits are present in the transmitted data (often 1 byte = 8 bits).
particle velocity -the instantaneous velocity of a single molecule.
Pascal -a basic unit ofpressure
Pascal’s law -any force applied to a fluid will be transmitted through the fluid and act on all enclosing surfaces.
PC (Programmable Controller) -also called PLC.
PCB (Printed Circuit Board) -alternate layers of insulating materials, with wire layout patterns are built up
(sometimes with several layers). Holes thought the layers are used to connect the conductors to each other, and components inserted into the boards and soldered in place.
PDES (Product Data Exchange using Step) -a new product design method that has attempted to include all
needed information for all stages of a products life, including full solids modeling, tolerances, etc.
peak level -the maximum pressure level for a cyclic variation
peak-to-peak -the distance between the top and bottom of a sinusoidal variation.
peer-to-peer -a communications form where connected devices to both read and write messages at any time.
