It would help to see mdin files for the equilibration, e.g. did
you do constant pressure to reach density of 1? Do you have iwrap=1?
If you send a picture of the structure we can see what you mean.

What is the time scale for this experimentally?
Is it a practical time to simulate?

If you expect your dimer to split in two, again what is the
expected time scale, and is there enough urea/water to solvate
the whole system with distance between the parts?

My impression is that processes you are studying may take place on
much longer time scales.
