Keeping FreeCAD up-to-date is documented in Source code management page. Along with useful git tips.

The FEM code lives in src/Mod/Fem

App/ console-mode application, defines basic structures and base classes for document objects, that are used by modules to build their own.
Gui/ GUI-mode application, defines the 3D view, tools/functions used by workbench to interact with UI and 3D view, defines base classes for view providers.

A new FEM solver requires the following:

Mesh exporter
Results importer
Solver object (needs changes in solver settings, unit tests, ObjectsFem modules as well)
Task and writer module (here is where the main solver input writing happens)
GUI tool to create a solver
GUI preference tab to set the solver binary path
A solver input writing unit test. Best to take the ccx cantilever. This is available for all mesh element types
Having one or two beers
