Cohesive Element in ABAQUS

Hello,

It is some time that I am struggling for making a physical interperation of the MAXSCRT in ABAQUS  and crack initiation.

When the MAXSCRT in ABAQUS in cohesive element is equal to 1, does it mean that the crack has been formed or just it means that irreversible deformation in the element has been formed?

Thank you,

When the SDEG in ABAQUS in cohesive element is equal to 1, it means a crack has been nucleated.
