FreeCAD[1] is the most advanced in my opinion. The next release is also supposed to solve the longstanding topological naming issue, and finally be the first 1.0 version.

FreeCAD is just a parametric modeler with export capability. There are an ecosystem of plugins to provide various CAM capabilities, and finite element modeling like the OP is about, but it's not integrated together like Fusion 360 is.

I think the current state of open-source CAD/CAM is a looong way from matching what Solidworks or Fusion 360 can do out of the box.
