confusion between UMAT and UEL

My Masters thesis work is on fatigue crack growth analysis on microalloy steel using cohesive zone model for mode-I crack growth.I had seen papers
on cohesive zone model which is attached here,in that damage based cohesive model is implemented. I would like to know how can we implement
damage mechanisms in ABAQUS,means whether it is necessary to write UMAT​ or UEL for the same?
can any one give me some suggestions?
Looking forward to your reply.
thank you very much.

crack extension curve

Dear all

My project work is in crack analysis, so I used cohesive zone model for crack analysis in Abaqus.I implement the cohesive element in crack path but I don't known how to plot crack extension vs time(load, J-integral) curve.

Pls suggest the procedure for ploting crack extension curve.

 

thanks.
