Resource curve is a representative S-curve of quantity. Say, a curve of total concrete volume required over the time period or duration of the schedule. Corollary to that, your schedule must be resource loaded before you can generate the curve.
Example:
With several "concreting" activities spread across your schedule, the curve can be generated either by:
1. Directly using "Tools\Graphic Report\Resource and Cost" menu, or,
2. Work in Excel/Lotus spreadsheet using "Tools\Tabular Reports\Resource\Loading" menu (generate in CSV format).
Use the timescale (monthly/weekly/daily) in choosing which one suit your requirement.
From this S-curve, the next period (forecast) quantity required is determined.

Anyone know how to do this with Suretrack ? I use P3 and cant get the same report from Suretrack (Never used before)

I hope this will help.
