    HI

     

    Create one userpage.mac file.

     

    code in that file to create button:

     

    *createbutton(5, 'Deflection of Cantilever',   -1, 0, 10, YELLOW, 'Launch Solution To Cantilever Beam.', EvalTcl, 'C:\Users\pdd914713\Documents\Test.tcl')

    *beginmacro('CantileverBeam')

    *endmacro()

     

    keep this file in current working directory...then restart the Hm.

     

    You can find this info in HW help as well.
