Expand the subsystem.

Simulink.BlockDiagram.expandSubsystem('SubsystemExpansionModel/Subsystem')

An area that contains the subsystem contents replaces the Subsystem block.

Open Live Script

Replace a subsystem with its contents without creating an area that surround the contents.

Open the example model, which contains a subsystem that separates functionally related blocks.
