You can try baking the simulation in MAX and export it to Softimage using Alembic. I tried once to export a simulation from MAX to Softimage using FBX but didn't come through. Other would be to export an OBJ sequence and bring it back to Softimage. There is an OBJ sequence import plugin reader for Softimage at http://rray.de/xsi/ from Thiago Costa.
Search it as OBJ Sequencer Download the backup.
