Section Calculation Modes::Optimal Control
Type logical
Default false
The initial field to start the optimization search is usually given in the inp file,
through a TDExternalFields block. However, you can start from a random guess if you
set this variable to true.
Note, however, that this is only valid for the "direct" optimization schemes; moreover
you still need to provide a TDExternalFields block.
