I added the atomtype to ffoplsaanb.itp as follows:


; These ion atomtypes are NOT part of OPLS, but since they are
; needed for some proteins or tutorial Argon simulations we have added
them.
     Cu2+   Cu2+   63.546       2.000       A    2.08470e-01

But when I try to run Grompp on my topology it gives me the following
error message:

Fatal error: Atomtype 'LJ1' not found!

My topology file has the line

#include "ffoplsaa.itp"

[ moleculetype ]
