Default About Gate Arrival pattern(distribution).

Sorry, Maybe I am asking too many questions. Here is another question.

If the arrival pattern of the second week is different from the first week, and so on, how to model it?

There's not a "canned" way to have a multi-week repeat on the gate schedule. You can, however, have a multi-week repeat on the ship-side, so if your ship-side is the driver, use only one set of container types for one week, and a different set of container types for the second week. Then on the gate-side, have one arrival pattern apply to the first set of container types, and another arrival pattern apply to the second set. Not a great solution, but that's about the best you can do right now.
