Dear Wanderson,

It's easy to achieve such functionality. Just nest mdb-accordion-item element inside one of existing mdb-accordion-item-body element, and that's all.

But please remember that, if you want to create nested sidenav with accordions, the accordion from sidenav need to have [multiple]="true" input, otherwise if you'll open the nested mdb-accordion-item element, it's parent will close.

Please take a look at below code:

<!--Double navigation-->
<header>
  <!-- Sidebar navigation -->
  <mdb-side-nav #sidenav class="sn-bg-1 fixed" [fixed]="true">

    <mdb-navbar-brand>
      <!-- Logo -->
      <li>
        <div class="logo-wrapper waves-light">
          <a href="#"><img src="https://mdbootstrap.com/img/logo/mdb-transparent.png" class="img-fluid flex-center"></a>
        </div>
      </li>
      <!--/. Logo -->
    </mdb-navbar-brand>

    <links>
      <!--Social-->
      <li>
        <ul class="social">
          <li><a class="icons-sm fb-ic"><i class="fab fa-facebook-f"> </i></a></li>
          <li><a class="icons-sm pin-ic"><i class="fab fa-pinterest"> </i></a></li>
          <li><a class="icons-sm gplus-ic"><i class="fab fa-google-plus"> </i></a></li>
          <li><a class="icons-sm tw-ic"><i class="fab fa-twitter"> </i></a></li>
        </ul>
      </li>
      <!--/Social-->
      <!--Search Form-->
      <li>
        <form class="search-form" role="search">
          <div class="form-group md-form mt-0 pt-1" mdbWavesEffect>
            <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Search">
          </div>
        </form>
      </li>
      <!--/.Search Form-->
      <!-- Side navigation links -->
      <li>
        <ul class="collapsible collapsible-accordion">

          <mdb-accordion [multiple]="true" aria-multiselectable="false">

            <!-- Collapsible link -->
