use the empirical correction term of DFT-D3 in the classical MD

Hello,

DFT and classical MD are two very different model chemistry's. The 
parameterizations for BMHFTD (if and when available) and DFT-D3 are 
completely different. It would be unsound to transfer Grimme's damped 
empirical correction terms into a classical MD force field in such a 
straightforward manner. At least I have not seen it done in the literature. 

Regards,
Marco
