There's no MaxDiff analysis built into SIMS as of yet. Here are some MaxDiff data analysis helpful links.

MaxDiff Analysis References:

   XLStat Analysis: XLStat   Data analysis with a specific method: hierarchical bayes.

Notes:
Yes you can use SIMS for MAXDIFF ballots/designs.   Analysis is a la cart via XLStat, SAS, or any method of your choosing.  

It's all about your SIMS Experimental Design.  "Sampling" the Attributes/Concepts, where the Attributes become the Experimental Design's samples.  

Ballots:  
Subjects will choose the Most Important and Least Important from BIBD set of Attributes/Concepts presented.
At least 2 hedonic questions.  Which is Most Important?   Which is Least Importan?   
Use special Hedonic Choice tags  <RELATIVE_SAMPLE_[1]_BLINDING_CODE> in both questions.

Experimental Designs:  
An experimental design for a MaxDiff study is a block design. A set of t attributes are organized into b blocks or sets of size k. 
Ideally, it's preferred to use a balanced incomplete block design or BIBD.   
In a BIBD, each of the t attributes appears the same number of times, and each of the t attributes appears with every other attribute the same number of times. 
However, BIBDs do not exist for every combination of b, t, and k that might be of interest. 
Hence, in many situations use unbalanced block designs in which each of the t attributes appears the same number of times, but not all of the t(t ? 1)/2 pairs of attributes appear the same number of times.   
Fortunately, while a BIBD is nice, it is not required for a MaxDiff analysis.
