External Forces and LJ

I was wondering if it were possible to introduce any external local force in gromacs and also if it were possible to change the interaction of LJ from 6-12 to 6-9 for example. It would be interesting..
Thanks in advance,
Sergio

6-12 -> 6-9: you can implement any potential form using tabulated potentials.

About the change of the LJ from 6-12 to 6-9, I know that in martini_v2.X.itp there are the tables of interactions but considering that the interaction is LJ 6-12 but I can not really see how I can decide in that file that I want certain interactions such as LJ 6-9. I don not either know how to create a new file in such a way that gromacs supposes that the LJ is such as 6-9.

it is not clear what you mean by switching from 12-6 to 9-6. The 9-6 potentials are not implemented in gromacs so you need to put them in manually. The files that you can give contain the actual potential energy so you can generate it with the analytical form you want: 12-6, 9-6, 1-2, etc ...
To create a file you need to know the potential, the associated parameters if any and generate the values of the potential as a function of distance ... check the manual for more details.
In general these question relate more to GROMACS itself and you would potentially get better answerby posting on the gromacs user list.
