We have studied the centrality dependence of charged particle forward-backward multiplicity correlation strength in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$=200 GeV with a parton and hadron cascade model, PACIAE, based on PYTHIA. The calculated results are compared with the STAR data. The experimentally observed correlation strength characters: (1) the approximately flat pseudorapidity dependence in central collisions and (2) the monotonous decrease with decreasing centrality are well reproduced. However the theoretical results are bigger than the STAR data for the peripheral collisions. A discussion is given for the comparison among the different models and STAR data.
