Compatibility notes: Due to the major changes in the material database and the unit system, PLAXIS CONNECT Edition Version 22 will be installed alongside Version 21, instead of overwriting it. When running the calibration, GeoDS-projects created with PLAXIS CONNECT Edition 3D Version 21 will automatically be saved by PLAXIS Monopile Designer as a converted copy with the _converted suffix.
The PLAXIS CONNECT Edition V21 projects will remain unchanged.

Fixed issues
A large number of issues have been addressed, including:
- [549487] Rearranged order of columns for material and geometry parameters in the input files so that it matches the order in the UI. This makes it easier to view, copy, and paste data between the files and the UI
- [708600] Fixed an issue in Monopile Designer to SACS export with very small numbers (<1E-9).
- [769866] Fixed an issue with NGI-ADP stress initialization for a soil polygon consisting of just one single element.
