Just access the popup menu via its handle in the push button callback. There are numerous examples in the documentation for GUI creation.

Do you want to create the GUI programmatically or using GUIDE? Both have advantages and disadvantages.

For the first you can find valuable examples in FEX: 41 GUI examples.

Create the popup menu and store its handle e.g. in the handles struct - see: doc guidata. In the callback of the push button, obtain the handle of the popup menu, then get the current selection and use it to start the calculations.

I suggest to try it and post the code here in case of problems. If you ask specific questions then, a concrete help is possible.
