The basic way to open a list of simulators is to use Xcode -> Window -> Devices and Simulators. Here you can create and manage all available simulators. But you cannot run them directly. You need to build your application on the simulator, and then you can run it.

For example, to create an iPad mini 4 simulator with Xcode 11.2:

xcrun simctl create "iPad mini 4" com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimDeviceType.iPad-mini-4 com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.iOS-13-2
