v1.01.309 ZZZZ309 - Validating topological options ZONE_MAJ and TORE in DEFI_GROUP

Summary:

The purpose of this computer test is to validate the topological options ZONE_MAJ and TORE available in DEFI_GROUP for a model containing one or more X-FEM cracks. These options allow you to define groups of nodes around the bottom of the crack to facilitate post-processing.
