Scala is freeware software developed by Manuel Op de Coul for experimenting with musical tunings. Its .scl files store scale definitions used by the program.
A scale file can contain the scale name, the number of notes, and the intervals that make up the scale. Intervals may be expressed in cents or as frequency ratios.
The format is primarily used with Scala on Microsoft Windows. It is scale data rather than a general-purpose document, and is normally loaded by Scala as musical tuning data.
On Microsoft Windows, open the file from Scala using the program's scale-loading or import function. The file is intended to be interpreted by Scala rather than opened as a standalone document.
Because an .scl file is text-based, a text editor can display its contents, but Scala is needed to use the scale as musical tuning data.
An .scl file does not normally need conversion. To use the scale in another tuning format, load it in Scala and use an export option if Scala supports the required target format.

Movie.BYU originated at Brigham Young University as an animation storage and playback format. In this context, the SCL file stores scalar results for the model, with one value for each node.
The scalar result file belongs with the related Movie.BYU model or animation data. EnSight uses it to display the values as part of a visualisation rather than as a standalone movie file.
This is a specialised, legacy data format. EnSight supports it on Microsoft Windows.
Open the .scl file in EnSight on Microsoft Windows. Load it together with the corresponding Movie.BYU model or animation data so that EnSight can associate the scalar values with the correct nodes.
Because the file is a result-data component, opening it by itself may not provide a meaningful view.
If the source data is available, open the dataset in EnSight and export the scalar results to a format supported by the required analysis or visualisation software.

An SCL file stores a list of files or folders that SuperCopier is to process during a copy operation.
The file can be used to save or reuse a set of copy items in SuperCopier on Microsoft Windows.
Open the SCL file with SuperCopier on Microsoft Windows. Start SuperCopier and use its copy-list or queue controls to load the file. Double-clicking the file may also work if Windows has associated the extension with the application.
There is no standard conversion for a SuperCopier copy list. To use the same items in another file-copy program, recreate the copy queue there from the paths in the SCL file.
