It's been a few years since I've used STAAD, but if I remember correctly, STAAD does not have any curved elements (beam or plates/shells). You will have to model your curves as multiple "straight" elements. I will see if I have any information on the Script language. I recall that Research Engineers used to distribute their documentation in pdf format of their demo CD's, so there is a chance that I might have it. I will let you know. You might want to consider posting you message in the "Research Engineer: STAAD products" folder on this site.

Do you have access to a user's manual? I believe they call their script language STAPLE. If you have a manual, look that up. I've used it a little bit, it's pretty easy. Mainly it allows you to output information to a file that is easy to read with your own program or import into a spreadsheet in order to do whatever you want to do to the data there.
