IF dmde or dndx or angle is non-zero, then you should activate this option. The curvature of the grid requires additional metric terms in the momentum equations. The rotation of a grid requires the grid angle to be non-zero. The grid angle is needed for such features as to rotate Uwind and Vwind to the grid (for example).
