ConStrobe – Construction Operations Simulation for Time and Resource Based Evaluations: Link to Download. ConStrobe is a software for creating and running discrete event simulation models. It is based on the STROBOSCOPE simulation language developed by Dr. Julio Martinez and described in his dissertation (Martinez 1996). Dr. Martinez also wrote a great introductory paper to EZStrobe (Martinez 2002), which has an example exercise that can directly be used to learn ConStrobe. The software is free to use for educational research. Commercial entities may contact Dr. Louis for information on obtaining and using the software. It is available for free for research and educational uses. Please note that it currently only works on Windows Operating Systems on x86-64 architecture (Intel or AMD processors).
Extend ConStrobe with Python: For users interested in more advanced workflows, pyConStrobe provides a Python interface that enables integration with external data sources, automated scenario generation, optimization-based analysis, and connections to BIM and GIS environments. pyConStrobe is currently shared upon request. If you’re interested in using it for research, teaching, or applied projects, feel free to reach out with a brief description of your intended use. pyConStrobe is especially useful for researchers and advanced users looking to integrate simulation with data, analytics, and decision-making workflows.
