I guess that depends on what you mean by "works fine." If you mean that you can
produce a stable simulation, then yes, it may "work," but I would question the
underlying premise of combining different force fields. If, for example, you're
using an AMBER force field for, say, a protein, and OPLS for a small molecule,
then what you're doing is wrong. The combination rules required by both force
fields are different, as are the underlying derivation schemes and quite
possibly some more details I'm not thinking about at the moment.
I guess it all depends on what you mean (below) by "non amber force field" and
how different it is from the actual requirements of the AMBER force field you're
using. If this "non amber force field" was designed to be compatible with your
chosen force field, and there was some suitable derivation scheme involved, then
things will probably work. If you're mixing and matching parameter sets, be
prepared for very tough questions from any reviewers who see your work.
