Force matching with prmtop files

[Bartholomeo Pietzu]

 I found a neat solution to the problem myself.

Just define a Forcefield ON TOP of your topology. e.g.:

    &FORCEFIELD
      parm_file_name  ./d_mediated_basepair_small_subsys.prmtop
      parmtype AMBER
      &CHARGE
        ATOM Hg2
        CHARGE ${PRM03}
      &END
      &NONBONDED
        &LENNARD-JONES
          atoms Hg2 Hg2
          EPSILON ${PRM01}
          SIGMA [angstrom] ${PRM02}
          RCUT [angstrom] 12.0
        &END LENNARD-JONES
      &END NONBONDED
      &SPLINE
         EMAX_SPLINE [hartree] 10000.0
      &END SPLINE
    &END FORCEFIELD


CP2K will report it found doubly defined FF parameters, but it will use the
manually defined ones. Now you can do a normal force matching.

#Dear CP2K Team & Users,
#
#I am trying to run a force matching using amber topology files (prmtop).
#I already ran BO-MD to get reference energies and forces.
#
#I replaced the properties to fit in the prmtop file to match with the
#corresponding variable e.g. ${PRM01} and ${PRM02}.
#
#For the file structure I used the one from tests/optimize_input
#
#now the FITIT-worker-0.out tells me, cp2k does not understand the
variables in #the topology file.

#So I am assuming cp2k can not do a force matching with amber topologies?
Do I #really need to put my amber FF by hand into cp2k?
