[ODE] ODe Lib: Will it help me?

[Al]

Hi People,

 

My scenario is this: I have a large amount of data that represents the
surface of the earth.

 

It is in a proprietary triangular mesh format, but I can convert to a grid
format.

 

I have a plane flaying above the surface of the earth, and a ray shooting
out from the plane in a 

Known direction. 

 

I want to work out in xyz the point of intersection. (collision detection)

 

I was going to do it by repeated triangle / ray intersection tests and I
have a c++ function that will do this given the origin of the plane, a
direction vector and the vertices of the triangle to be tested
(repeatively).

 

Can ODE do this? Can anyone suggest a good data format?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

-Al
