EMTP-RV软件包使用面向对象的编程模式，由EMTP-RV 核心数据处理引擎、EMTPWorks图形化编辑界面和ScopeView可视化数据处理程序三部分组成。
EMTP-RV的工程文件（Design)由支持无限嵌套层次的子电路（Subcircuit）组成。元件的相互连接构成子电路。EMTP-RV的元件分为内置元件、内置封装组件和用户自定义元件三大类型。EMTP-RV支持脚本化编程操作，可以使用Javascr ipt或者“Report scr ipt” (“Export scr ipt Language”)脚本语言对元件数据或属性进行更改。
EMTP-RV求解微分方程进行时域电磁暂态仿真时，可选择先进行潮流稳态求解，以获取一个比较好的仿真起点(EMTP-RV software package uses object-oriented programming mode and consists of three parts: EMTP-RV core data processing engine, EMTPWorks graphical editing interface and CopeView visual data processing program.
EMTP-RV's engineering file (Design) consists of sub circuits (Subcircuit) that support infinite nested hierarchies. The interconnection of components constitutes a sub circuit. The components of EMTP-RV are divided into three types: built-in components, built-in packaging components and user defined components. EMTP-RV supports scr ipted programming operations and can change component data or properties using Javascr ipt or the "Report scr ipt Language" scr ipting language.
When EMTP-RV solves differential equations for time-domain electromagnetic transient simulation, steady-state power flow can be selected to obtain a better simulation starting point.)
