Maya Plugin Animation not importing

[SebMorales]

Hi,
When I send my scene to KeyShot it opens properly but it doesn't include the animation frames (only current frame is exported). In Maya the animation works correctly but in KeyShot the animation timeline is empty. Do you know what I may be doing wrong? I was trying to replicate these instructions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MacwcGNJQrM

Here a quick video demonstrating my problem:

Additional details:
Platform / OS: OS X Yosemite
KeyShot version: 6.0.264
Plugin version: keyshot6_maya2016_mac_1.0.pkg
Modeling system, including version: Maya 2016
Steps to take to reproduce the problem: Created simple animation, send scene to KeyShot through plugin
Include original CAD, bip, or KSP file (use keyshot.wetransfer.com and send it to support@luxion.com if needed)
File is attached.

The plugin/import  supports keyframed transformations(scale/translation), this is made with a rigid solver.

You may have some success by combining scripting and import specific frame, or export to fbx/alembic before importing.

The general outline of a script:

I tried it very quickly and it appears the it is not necessary to bake the animation, but interacting with a physics solver in Maya is ...
