The accelerator complex for RIBF factory in RIKEN consists of the four ring cyclotrons with an injector linac. It can boost the energy of output beams from the linac up to 440 MeV/nucleon for light ions and 350 MeV/nucleon for very heavy ions. The first beam from the accelerator complex was successfully extracted at the end of 2006. An 28GHz SC-ECR ion source will be installed at the front end of the injector linac on a 100kV HV platform to increase the beam intensity of very heavy ions such as uranium. Beam dynamics from the ion source to the exit of the injector were simulated using TRACK. How much space charge forces affect on beam qualities in the successive ring cyclotrons will be discussed.
