Does OCC support ray tracing

I'd like to use OCC as a mesh generator for FDTD code.
It should compute intersection point betwen geom object and 3D line.
I had use BRL-CAD to do the same job, the ray tracing tool of BRL-CAD can do
it efficiently.
How should I do with OCC?

There is high level API GeomAPI_IntCS, which intersects a curve with a surface. Or you can use the class BRepClass3d_Intersector3d, which intersects a 3d line with a topological face. But for best customization you should use directly the class IntCurveSurface_HInter, which is used internally in both cases. For examples of its usage see implementation of the above mentioned classes.
