Reading ABAQUS output database from an external C++ application

Hello all,

I am trying to access ABAQUS Outputdatabase from an external C++ application. The documentation suggests: https://help.3ds.com/2019/English/DSSIMULIA_Established/SIMACAECMDRefMap/simacmd-m-OdbCppLinksa-sb.htm?ContextScope=all&id=f3a1c08dc8ee4f71839eed2beb9100e8#Pg0

However, to link the C++ project to ABAQUS related header files (*.h) and lib (*.lib), the respective folders are missing under ABAQUS install Directory from 2016 versions (directories found only under 6.13 release). Anybody have any update on this? Is the functionality discontinued after 6.13 release?
