The KEK digital accelerator (KEKDA), which is an injector-free induction synchrotron capable of accelerating any ions with their possible charge state, is under construction*. This machine is an interesting device as a driver to explore a Warm Dense Matter (WDM) state. The irradiation onto a target at a small focal spot (< a few mm) with a short pulse duration (< 100 nsec) is required to create an interesting WDM state. The target temperature based on an equation-of-state fitted from SESAME table data is estimated as a function of the focal spot size and the ion number per bunch. Final focusing of an ion beam bunch extracted from KEKDA is realized through a half mini-beta system. For this purpose, the beamline has been carefully designed. Beam parameters, such as Twiss parameter, and the guiding magnet parameters will be given together with the drawing of the beamline.
