This technical report provides users and researchers information on the configuration and use of Construct, the CASOS dynamic network, agent-based, information and belief diffusion simulation of complex socio-technical systems. The report provides a Quick Start Guide to Construct, a detailed discussion of its configuration, and use through a sample problem and virtual experiment configuration exemplar, and a set of appendices with additional useful information. This document is intended both as an introduction to Construct for casual modelers as well as a reference guide for researchers, modelers, and simulationists.
