I was looking for the same answer and found this rather hacky way to achieve what I wanted ... Add a hidden DIV with ng-init="$parent.$mdSidemenuContent.visible = true"within the content block you want to expand.

<md-sidemenu-content md-heading="Applications" md-arrow="true">
  <div ng-init="$parent.$mdSidemenuContent.visible = true" ng-hide></div>
  <md-sidemenu-button md-no-ink title="Lodge Enquiry" ui-sref="root.lodge">Lodge Enquiry</md-sidemenu-button>
</md-sidemenu-content>

Obviously would be much nicer to have an attribute we can set on the <md-sidemenu-content /> element.

I created an option for this, After the PR approved, you can use the visible option to enable the initial state of side-menu-content.
