We performed 2.5-dimensional, nonsteady MHD numerical simulations to investigate the acceleration and collimation of magnetically driven outflows from accretion disks, including the accretion process itself, consistently. As an initial condition, we used a paraboloidal magnetic field line that is produced by electric current on the equatorial plane. We found that the outflow ejected from the accretion disk is collimated by the pinch effect of the toroidal component of the magnetic field that is produced by the rotation of the disk.
