UML Tour - Exploding Objects (Decomposition)  

 A Use Case can be exploded into a new sub-diagram that breaks its functionality up into smaller parts.  For example, at a high level diagram, maintain inventory may be useful as a use case.  However, you may want to further specify what use cases are involved in, and what actors are responsible for maintaining the inventory.

Many other diagram objects in Visual Case can be exploded like the Use Case.  These objects include the package, activity, component, node, and state and all have the explode into menu item displayed when you right click on them.
