There must be relationships established ( when you create table .... foreign key)
If no relationships are established, you can add them in Modify database

Click on a PK from a table and drag that to a FK of the related child table - then you will see the (new) relationship (line)

When you have all your relationships, then do the right click - Edit referential integrity
When you are done with that it will ask whether you want the code generated
