So I'm really feeling comfortable with the MVA method that I learned through this board. I feel like it makes problems a lot easier compared to the PU analysis. However, I don't know which is best to apply (PU Analysis vs. MVA Method) in different problems.
My plan is do run though NCEES sample problems 132, 513, 530, and 540 using both methods to practice but I would like to be able to pick out which method is best when I first lay eyes upon the problem. This would save time during testing, which could obviously be used on other problems.
I tried to search the board (using google as well) and I wasn't able to find any kind of guidance that I'm asking for.
Any guidance would be much appreciated.
