If you can see the tool in work piece view and not in machine simulattion,most probably it is the gage offset. Are you putting your gage offset correctly?

Kantha is right,
The tool might be inside the machine.  Right click in the machine view and click >Draw mode >Lines, this will give you a wireframe view, and you can see if your tool is inside your machine.
