In the folder
X:\SProV8i SS6\OpenSTAAD
you will find a macro named
boxgirder.vbs
It contains VB code for generating nodes and plates to form a bridge deck having a parabolic profile. The number of nodes and plates to be generated is parametrically controlled, like you want.
If you can tell us what it is that you need that the current set of OpenSTAAD functions do not provide, we can probe further.
