​Why not? It's freely available at http://ambermd.org (for this, all you
need is AmberTools 14, not Amber 14).

​Look for "bad atom type" in $AMBERHOME/src/sander/mdread.F90 (ca. line
2127). You need to add logic there to handle your new element. One option
you have is to replace the error message and mexit call with a default
radius assignment (I would, rather arbitrarily, choose the value for
Carbon, personally). Then you need to recompile for those changes to take
effect.
