It *is* possible, but I would strongly recommend that you use existing force
fields (like gaff) to do your initial alkane simulations. Be sure you feel
comfortable with the standard features before starting a project to implement
new force fields in the code. Adding in new force fields is going to require
time, patience, and debugging -- make sure you are prepared for some serious
work.
