That's probably what you need. Is there some reason it does not work?

We compared potential energies (bonded and nonbonded terms individually) between
the CHARMM36 force field in the latest version of the CHARMM software, then our
CHARMM36 port within Gromacs. If the energies agreed, we were satisfied that
the force field was implemented properly. The same would apply here - if you
want to validate between the two software packages, carry out equivalent
calculations in both programs.
