SimVision has a number of layouts built in that you can specify at the command line, but sadly not a schematic-only one. You can define your own layouts though, so open sSimVision once (no design needed), and open the Schematic Tracer window, close all other windows, and go to the menu Window->Layout->Save and save it as "gates". Now you can do this from teh command line: irun myfile.vg -y mylibs/tsmc18 -access +rwc -createdebugdb -gui -layout gates Explanation: irun is the one-stop front-end which will compile and elaborate your design; -gui opens simvision, and -layout gates tells it to open your saved layout. "-access +rwc" enables schematic connectivity tracing (which would be disabled by default for performance reasons). "-createdebugdb" tells the elaborator to save a special debug database to make SimVision load and trace shcematics quicker.
