Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Generate MFEM initial mesh file using WELSIM
MFEM (mfem.org) is one of the most active open-source partial differential equation (PDE) solver projects in recent years. Although this open source package is positioned as a lightweight and scalable C++ library, it provides higher-order finite element spaces, supports mixed elements, discontinuous Galerkin elements, isogeometric analysis methods, and more. In particular, it has great advantages in high-performance computing, not only supports message passing interface (MPI) parallelism and shared memory parallelism (OpenMP), but also has good strength in GPU parallel computing. The built-in post-processing program GLVis can easily read and display the result files. The BSD-3 license is also extremely friendly to developers. Recently, MFEM supports Python programming, which makes the library more convenient for various types of researchers.

Open source / part time research in the world of HPC?
If you are looking for something more numerically intensive, check out MFEM: https://mfem.org. Lots of examples in the gallery there; lots of cool higher order curved meshes and physics problems to play with. Probably a higher learning curve than some of your other options.

How is it working at Idaho National Lab?
If you're interested in a FEM framework designed by computer scientists and mathematicians, MFEM has treated me well. Maybe just something to compare to.

Intact Solutions is hiring a Software Engineer
We currently have several solvers of our own, as well as interfacing with MPI capable solvers via mfem. We are currently a pre and post processor for several NASTRAN based solvers using our meshing free method.

What are some best open source FEA solvers that one can test their new element implementation in?

Does anyone have open source C++ projects that I can try contributing to?
I’m working on MFEM. It is a Finite Element Method (FEM) library. Some of the work would require knowledge of the FEM but there’s a lot of stuff like implementing operators in vector classes that you could do too!

Multiphysics FEM library. Made user-friendly. New release.
Do you mean small-strain but large displacement nonlinear mechanics? I.e. with geometric nonlinearity? That's predefined, fully tested and available since 3 years. Check the doc, there is one flavor of "predefinedelasticity" that easily lets you do that and there are at least 3 examples in the examples folder with that. The easiest to start is https://github.com/halbux/sparselizard/blob/master/examples/nonlinear-truss-elasticity-2d/main.cpp
