If you want to simulate a Velodyne LIDAR, it can be done using Gazebo:
EDIT: OK, now I understand you are not talking about software simulation, like with Gazebo. You want to use a Kinect device to simulate the output of a Velodyne.
While both devices provide 3D data, they work quite differently. Their ranges, resolutions and fields of view are very different.
Not knowing what you are trying to discover using the substitution, I can't say whether using a Kinect will help or not. Very likely, the results would be confusing.
