Topology Optimization Local Initial Design variable

Hi Good people,
I am trying to perform topology optimization in a heat sink. My only concern is, I want to start the optimization with the initial guess as the solution is highly dependent on it. I want to prescribe initial design variable (gamma) at certain locations. However, I am not sure how to do it? Can someone please guide me?
I attached a picture to help in understanding. Red is for solid and blue is for fluid. Currently I have only rectangular domain and I just know how to input the initial guess for whole rectangle domain. I want to input the local design variable to make those red circular regions as a initial guess. Can you please help me?
Thanks,
FE
