simulation is also not happening

Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException: no such element: Unable to locate element

This error means  that  its  not  able  to  find  the  element


Try to give some wait before finding the element
Also check in chrome inspector if xpath is coming on that element by pasting xpath in chrome inspector
