[gmx-users] modify C6 directly in FF using sigma and epsilon

[Mu Yuguang (Dr)]

Yes. I did this way. I wrote it in small awk script. If you like I can
share with it.

Best regards

It doesn't look like it.
The sigma and epsilon are first read in the atomtypes section, and a 
matrix is filled in with sigma and epsilon. Then, if you overwrite a 
pair in the nonbond_types section two (because f symmetry) matrix 
elements are replaced. Finally, just before writing the file the values 
are converted to C6 and C12.

It seems that your best bet is to write that little Perl script to 
convert the whole force field to C6/C12.
