Hi Ravi

A "masked" block provides a custom user interface for a block, allowing you to hide complexity and expose only necessary parameters. This is useful for simplifying user interaction but doesn't directly affect the structure of the generated code, except through parameterization.

On the other hand, a "library" block is designed for reusability and consistency across multiple models. It allows you to maintain and distribute reusable components, promoting efficient design practices.

In terms of generated code, "library" blocks can lead to more modular and potentially smaller code due to the reuse of common logic. "Masked" blocks focus on encapsulating complexity, while "library" blocks emphasize reusability and consistency.

Hope this helps!
