To understand the universe and to interpret the cosmological parameters governing its evolution it is necessary to contrast the data from galaxy surveys with simulation. Typically it entails using computationally expensive N -body simulations. Computational overhead makes it difficult to test the dependence of galaxy large scale structure on multiple cosmological parameters. In this work, we suggest a parametric model to simulate large scale structure. The new method provides a fast way to generate mock catalogs for testing multiple cosmological parameters as well as providing a test bench for code development.
