Note: from this list, one can see that
  * simulators for all platforms do not necessarily exist
  * getting a simulator, of any flavor, for a particular platform
    can be a lot of work if it doesn't already exist.

So, Mr. Sachin (I can't really tell what your name is), in
order to get a simulator for the SNDS board, you'll probably
have to build SID.  I'm pretty sure that this board is not
one that SID supports "off the shelf", so you'll have to
create it.  This is not a "configure and make" proposition,
but rather something that can take many man weeks or even
months.
