There sure are. If you're looking for the technical nitty-gritty, you
can find a document titled "Writing a Simulator for the SIMH System"
on GitHub here:

https://github.com/simh/simh/blob/master/doc/simh.doc

It's in Microsoft Word format. I was unable to find a PDF version of
the DOC, so I've exported one here, temporarily:

If you're interested in a more academic overview of how SIMH came to
be, you can find it here, in a paper by Maxwell M. Burnet and Robert
M. Supnik, titled "Preserving Computing's Past: Restoration and
Simulation":
