I guess you have a Conceptual Data Model to represent your ER diagram.

You first need to generate a Physical Data Model from it, using Tools > Generate Physcical Data Model, picking the specific DBMS you want to use, Microsoft SQL Server 2008, available for PD 15.0 and up.

And then generate the script using Database > Generate Database as mentionned in the first comment.

The need to convert the ER diagram into a Physical DAta Model, is that the ER diagram could use some concepts which need to be resolved before going to SQL; and miss some concept specific to the databaase implementation (like performance indexes).
