According to press reports, Boeing and the simulator manufacturers are "working together".
But given that the aiplane software is not ready yet, it is most doubtful whether a simulator version exists at the moment.
As I understand it, Boeing's "simulator" is a thing they call an "engineering cab" (e-cab), maybe some contraption into which they plug actual computer boxes etc.
Some info from Boeing here :
Boeing: The ?e-cab? ? a test flight deck
It is ironic to read or hear comments about "right at first flight", "you know exactly how the airplane will react in flight", etc.
