If you are just starting with CAN, I recommend using the for software side, and this Proteus library for hardware simulation.
Test how the CAN network behaves under heavy load or fault conditions before implementing it on hardware. Troubleshooting Common Issues mcp2515 proteus library
The MCP2515 manages the complex framing, error detection, and bit-timing required by the CAN protocol, offloading these tasks from your primary microcontroller (such as an Arduino, PIC, or AVR).

In physical circuits, the MCP2515 connects to a CAN transceiver (such as the MCP2551 or TJA1050) to convert digital signals to differential bus voltages. In Proteus, a dedicated third-party library simulates the internal registers, SPI registers, and transmit/receive buffers of the MCP2515, allowing you to debug your firmware entirely in a virtual environment. Step-by-Step: Installing the MCP2515 Library in Proteus In physical circuits
Search for a trusted "MCP2515 Proteus Library" zip file on GitHub or engineering blogs. The package must contain two crucial files: MCP2515.IDX (Index file) MCP2515.LIB (Library file) Step 2: Locate your Proteus Library Folder
