If you cannot use Visual Studio you can use the command line SqlPackage application to extract the schema from the database. By default, this does not verify the schema (no, I don't know why SSMS and the command line offering have different defaults!). SqlPackage.exe can be found in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\\DAC\bin.

For example, the following extracts the schema for MyDatabase from the local SQL Server instance and outputs it to a .dacpac file on the local filesystem:

sqlpackage /Action:Extract /SourceDatabaseName:"MyDatabase" /SourceServerName:localhost /TargetFile:"C:\SomeDirectory\MyDatabase.dacpac"

If you want to include schema verification at a later stage, you can set the flag explicitly by adding /p:VerifyExtraction=True to the command line.
