This is the wrong place to ask for help about acpype -- as I mentioned in
a post here yesterday, Amber developers are unlikely to convert an Amber
topology for use with Gromacs. We are just going to use the Amber MD
engines. So it is very likely that nobody frequently responding here will
have ever used acpype before.
If this problem happened to me, I would first try and make sure that the
problem was acpype and not antechamber -- that is, make sure that a prmtop
file generated by antechamber actually assigned the atomic number of the CL
atoms to 17 and not 6. If that was correct, I would look through the
acpype manual and see if there was some option that looked like it would
help here. If the answer wasn't available there, I would then try and
check the acpype source code.
Another option is to use a developmental version of ParmEd, which has the
ability to convert between Amber and Gromacs topologies. This Github issue
contains some instructions for doing so:
https://github.com/ParmEd/ParmEd/issues/204
Note that you *must* use the developmental version of ParmEd from Github
(not the version included with AmberTools 15), since it is a very new
feature.
