You can add 'PM6-DH+' to the list of recognized Hamiltonians in
MMPBSA.py or simply comment the section that checks the Hamiltonian out
of the script altogether (but then you lose a layer of error-checking).
The section of the code you're looking for is
$AMBERHOME/AmberTools/src/mmpbsa_py/MMPBSA_mods/main.py line 819. After
you update that module, you can run "make install" inside
$AMBERHOME/AmberTools/src/mmpbsa_py to reinstall MMPBSA.py.

Thanks,
Jason

P.S. The list of permissible Hamiltonians in QM/MMGBSA will be updated
for AmberTools 14 being released in about a month.
