I want to simulate Jmeter’s thread group behaviour where we can setup number of loop and thread duration both, if thread completes defined loops it will terminate the simulation or if time limit is reached simulation will be terminated,
can any one please help me with creating simulation like this in gatling.

Forget about the word “threads”, it’s a leaking JMeter implementation detail. Think of virtual users instead.
You should read the documentation, in particular [loops](https://gatling.io/docs/gatling/reference/current/core/scenario/#loop-statements).
