In this paper the observed Dirac semimetals Na3Bi and Cd3As2 are studied within lattice simulation. We formulate lattice field theory with rooted staggered fermions on anisotropic lattice. It is shown that in the limit of zero temporal lattice spacing this theory reproduces low energy effective theory of Dirac semimetals. Using this lattice theory we study the phase diagram of Dirac semimetals in the plane effective coupling constant--Fermi velocity anisotropy. Within the formulated theory the results are practically volume independent in contrast with our previous study. Our results confirm our previous finding that within the Dirac model with bare Coulomb interaction both Na3Bi and Cd3As2 lie deep in the insulator phase.
