\section multipletopologies Generate multiple topologies
In this short tutorial you will learn how to do two things:
- Generate scaled topologies with `plumed partial_tempering`. This is actually not directly related to
the `-hrex` flag.
- Run GROMACS with replica exchange and multiple topologies.
Plumed comes with a `partial_tempering` command line tool that can be used to generate
multiple topologies. Notice that you might want to generate these topologies
by userself. This step is totally independent from the use of the `-hrex` flag.

If GROMACS has been patched with PLUMED it should accept the -hrex option
in mdrun. Please double check this (mdrun -h should list this possibility).
Notice that not all the versions of GROMACS allow this feature.

Warnings:
- Topologies should have the same number of atoms, same masses and same constraint topology
- Topologies should have the same number of atoms, same masses and same constraint topology.
Some of these differences (e.g. masses) are not explicitly checked and might lead to
unnoticed errors in the final results.
- Choose neighbor list update (nstlist) that divides replex. Notice that running with GPUs
GROMACS is going to change nstlist automatically, be sure that it still divides replex.
