Just to follow up what Bill said, if you are going to use constant
pressure dynamics, your initial box size will drop. So, my suggestion
would be to create a sample system as described by Bill, and then do a
regular minimization and pressure/temperature regulation. At the end,
pressure should be equilibrated and you can calculate the concentration of
urea. Then you can decide on how many urea you need to add or subtract
with respect to the number of waters in the system to bring it down to the
concentration you want.
