The port industry is actively advancing the digitalization of construction processes through the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM). This study aims to analyze variables derived from productivity simulations and link them with BIM models and Generative Design to automatically generate various simulation results, thereby enhancing visual comprehension and improving optimal layout decision-making processes. During the research, port productivity simulation cases and BIM-related precedent studies were analyzed, and existing container terminal layout design processes were reviewed to extract variables for implementing automation logic in the Revit project environment. The algorithm logic is divided into apron and yard, and operational facility areas, each implemented as separate Dynamo files. The developed algorithm was ultimately applied to a real port case, demonstrating high consistency with alternatives designed using traditional methods and reducing the time required to visualize design alternatives. This reduction in time helped decrease inefficient tasks and enhance communication efficiency. This research contributes to the field of container terminal design by introducing BIM and automated algorithms to quickly generate and visualize design alternatives.
