"Now that we have the signed distance field (SDF) from the design space, we can proceed to compute the *density field*, which is what the FEM solver expects. That is, we need to define a function $\\rho$ that maps the SDF to a density value. This function needs to be smooth and differentiable to ensure that the optimization process can effectively navigate the design space. We use a parametrized sigmoid function, which ensures that the density values are bounded between 0 and 1. Here, $s$ is the slope of the sigmoid and $\\varepsilon$ is the offset. The parameters $s$ and $\\varepsilon$ can be adjusted to control the steepness and position of the transition between 0 and 1 in the density field.\n",
