Jérôme Duriez proposed the following answer:
Note that you may face some issues using the assignment phys.unp = geom.penetrationDepth, because of an "offset" (during the computation loop) in the computations / use of these two variables.
See the example below, where some movements (vanishing here after some oscillations) appear.

If, in your case, such oscillations would be annoying, e.g. having an amplitude big enough to break the cohesive bonds, you may just perform one cycle with any movement frozen (dynamic = False).
So that the initial offset between unp and penetrationDepth can be cancelled (uncomment the two corresponding lines in the example, and you won't get any movement)


O.materials.append(CohFrictMat(young=50e9,poisson=0.3,frictionAngle=radians(35),normalCohesion=1e10,shearCohesion=35e10))

O.bodies.append(sphere(center=Vector3(0,0,0),radius = 1,fixed=1))
O.bodies.append(sphere(center=Vector3(1.5,0,0),radius = 1))


O.engines=[
    ForceResetter()
    ,InsertionSortCollider([Bo1_Sphere_Aabb()])
    ,InteractionLoop(
        [Ig2_Sphere_Sphere_ScGeom6D()],
        [Ip2_CohFrictMat_CohFrictMat_CohFrictPhys(setCohesionNow=True,setCohesionOnNewContacts=False)],
        [Law2_ScGeom6D_CohFrictPhys_CohesionMoment()])
    ,NewtonIntegrator()
    ,PyRunner(command='saveData()',iterPeriod = 1)
    ]

O.dt = 1e-5
from yade import plot

def saveData():
    plot.addData(uSph = O.bodies[1].state.pos[0]
                 ,fN = O.forces.f(1)[0]
                 ,it = O.iter
                 )

plot.plots={'it':'fN',' it':'uSph'}
plot.plot()
yade.qt.View()

#O.bodies[1].dynamic=False
O.step()
O.interactions[0,1].phys.unp = O.interactions[0,1].geom.penetrationDepth
#O.bodies[1].dynamic=True
O.run(1000,1)
