Are you using time-domain or frequency-domain fatigue? Please make sure to use a recent version of LS-DYNA and LS-Prepost as those will also show a “Counted cycles” entry, though “Expected fatigue cycles” seems to be zero for time-domain fatigue – I believe it is meaningful only for frequency-domain analysis. You can also look at the cumulative damage ratio to see if there is enough damage for a particular number of cycles
