      There were some major graphics changes in version 18.0, and since VNC is non-accelerated it can cause instability or intermittent crashes. Fluent R18 can be launched with -driver X11 flag when running through VNC on the cluster to prevent these sporadic crashes. This flag can also be useful to fix random crashes when running on Linux even without VNC.
