How do I refresh "Model" blocks programmatically?

I have a Simulink model with many "Model" blocks. I have to frequently refresh each of these blocks by right-clicking on the block, hovering over "Subsystem & Model Reference", and then clicking on "Refresh Selected Model Block". Is there a way I can update "Model" blocks programmatically?

MATLAB R2020a and later:

You can use the "Simulink.ModelReference.refresh" function to update a specified "Model" block. Please refer to the following documentation page for more information:

MATLAB R2019b and earlier:

You can save the referenced model by using the "save_system" function. Please refer to the following documentation page for more information:
