```bash
simd tx vesting create-periodic-vesting-account cosmos1.. periods.json
```

**create-vesting-account**

The `create-vesting-account` command creates a new vesting account funded with an allocation of tokens. The account can either be a delayed or continuous vesting account, which is determined by the '--delayed' flag.

```bash
simd tx vesting create-vesting-account [to_address] [amount] [end_time] [flags]
```
